Insert Sub Projects

Explanation

After the project has been registered, you can register the subprojects in the structure. This is done by using Sub Projects or Project  Navigator/Sub Project. Each subproject can only have one parent, but a subproject can be parent to many subprojects.

Prerequisites

• The parent project or subproject must have been created. (See Insert Project ID for how to create a new project.)

System Effects

• A new subproject is created, and activities can be registered in the new subproject.

Procedure

There are two ways of creating a new sub project, either in Project Navigator/Sub Project or in Sub Projects.

Project Navigator/Sub Project

1. Select the desired parent in the graphical display (either the project or a subproject).
2. Place the cursor in the Sub Project tab, and create a new subproject.
3. Enter the subproject ID and subproject description. (The rest of the fields are optional.)
4. Save the new record.

Sub Projects

1. Create a new record.
2. Enter the project ID for the new subproject; use either the List of Values or F8 to choose a project ID.
3. Enter the subproject ID for the new subproject.
4. If the subproject is not to be placed directly under the project, you must specify the parent subproject ID. You can use either the List of Values or F8 to choose a subproject ID in the selected project.
5. Enter the subproject description.
6. If desired, you can register the ID of the subproject manager and a department, but this is not mandatory; these can be entered at any time.
7. Save the new record.
