The Issues Tab

The Issues tab is where you can document and keep track of problems and concerns specific to a project or to any of the CSRs it contains. An issue can be anything that in some way affects a project, such as a technical question or a scheduling conflict.

Like CSRs, issues are assigned to users who are responsible for resolving the problem they represent. However, the Issues tab is meant for informational purposes only. Unresolved issues do not prevent you from closing a CSR or project.

From the Issues tab of the Project window, you can also document and track issues affecting any of the CSRs contained in the project. To view or add CSR issues from the Project window, click CSR Issues. This changes the view of the Issues tab from project issues to CSR issues. For more information, see Issues Tab .

Understanding Project Security

Understanding Project Security

Security rights are determined by a system administrator and assigned by user class. When you work with projects, your user class determines the functions you can perform.

With projects, the security options determined by your user class are:

•
Access different service domains – Although projects can cross service domains, you must specify which service domains apply to a project. You can only apply service domains that your user class has access to.
•
Open new projects – If your user class does not include this right, the New Project option is disabled on your menu
•
Edit projects assigned to other users – Security may restrict you from being able to modify a project assigned to a different user
•
Add CSRs – Your user class determines if you are able to add CSRs to a project
•
View all CSRs associated with a project – You can only see the CSRs from the service domains to which you have access
•
