Project Workspace Overview
This article describes the Project Workspace, where project managers can plan and update their projects and stakeholders can access project attributes and objects.
Accessing an Individual Project Workspace
Individual project workspaces are accessed by clicking on the Project Name cell in rows (records) on pages such as Project Data or Assignments or Demand.
On the Project Data page, click on the project name and then on the drill down arrow to the right of the name to drill down to the individual project workspace. On most other pages, the project name text is a hyperlink which causes drill down on click.
Below is an image of a Project Workspace:
The hamburger icon at the upper right of the workspace page controls which detail pages (i.e., tabs) are available in the navigation menu. The use of each page is described in a separate article. An index is below the image.
