This Document can be found in the following categories:

PDWare Portfolio allows you to retrieve just the data you need for forecasting or analysis.



Projects Frame: select the projects to download from the database.

Resources Frame: select the resources to download from the database. The Project and Resource Organization Breakdown Structure ("OBS") trees allow you to select specific Project and Resource "nodes" to retrieve from the PDWare Portfolio Database.

The OBS list is a tree structure with branches that can be expanded or contracted by clicking the '+' or '-' symbols or by double clicking the text of a node.

The OBS list is highlighted to display the current status of a node.

Black: You do not have any rights to the node.

Green: You have rights to read the node and the node is not 'Checked Out'.

Bold: You have rights to check out the node.

Red: The node is 'Checked Out'.


Checkout Checkboxes: If checked, data can be changed and saved back to the database. No one else can check out that node (or branch) while you have it checked out BUT anyone with rights can read checked out data.

Date RangeFrame: Select the start date, the number of time periods, and the period granularity (months/weeks/quarters/halves/years/days).
