From the main Project Management home page select the Fluid Tile for the following pages:
Before the steps below will work, you must have User Preferences set up by your Local Security Administrator (LSA).
If your college’s Local Security Administrator (LSA) has not already set up your Project Costing user preferences, they will need to do that before you can set up your My Projects. User preferences need to have the Business Unit and Integration fields completed.
- After your User Preferences are set up, select the My Projects tile.
- Select the Projects List link at the bottom of the page.
- The Projects List popup window displays. Enter or lookup your Business Unit and any other applicable search criteria.
- Select the Search button.
- Mark the Projects checkbox(es) of the projects that you want to add to 'My Projects'.
- Select the Save button.
Note: The My Projects list is limited to 50 projects.
The My Projects page provides a list of the project that are in your My Projects list. From here you can quickly navigate to any of the projects in your My Projects list.
- Select the My Projects tile from the Project Management home page. View the projects in your My Projects list.
