<h1>Projects View Screen</h1> This page shows you information about and related to the Project. A Project Synopsis information box at the top shows you the main details of the Project. Below the Project Synopsis is a series of tabs with information from other modules that are related to the Project. The View Project Screen is accessed by clicking on the name of a project from the main Project Index Screen or one of the Project Lists. Once on the View Project Screen you have the opportunity to click one of the links [projects list : edit this project : reports] to either return to the main index screen, edit the project, or build a report for the project. There is also a delete project link. The delete project link will change depending on whether the Project has dependancies with any other module (like Tasks). A tooltip will be displayed informing you of what those dependancies are if they exist. You will not be able to delete a Project if it has dependancies with other modules. <h2>Project Synopsis</h2> A Project Synopsis is available beneath the View Project Screen "breadcrumb" navigation elements. This Synopsis lists the details about the project that were entered on the Add / Edit Project Screen, or calculated from dependent modules (i.e. Progress from Tasks). The Project Synopsis lists the Project Name and Details such as the Company, Short Name, Start Date, Target End Date, Actual End Date, Target Budget, Project Owner, URL, and Staging URL. The Summary lists the project's Status, Progress, and whether it is Active. The Description field provides a quick overview of the project. Any of the Project Synopsis information (with the exception of Progress) can be updated by clicking on the edit this project link and making the appropriate changes. <hr /> <h2>Dependent Module Screens</h2> Beneath the Project Synopsis information box is a series of tabs or sections listing information about other modules that may be dependent on this the project. By default, DotProject will provide tabs or sections with information about Tasks, Forums, Files, or Gantt Chart. You can select a tabbed or flat display option by clicking on the appropriate display option link. The Tasks section provides the following for information or option for each Task assigned to the project: <ul> <li>Edit Icon: Click to link to Tasks Edit Screen</li> <li>Work: Reports Progress of individual Task</li> <li>Task Name: Click to link to Tasks Summary Screen</li> <li>Task Creator: Lists Task Owner</li> <li>Start Date, Duration, Finish Date: Lists values</li> </ul> The Forums section provides links to any Task-dependent Forum Name and for each Forum reports the number of Messages and date of Last Post. The Files section reports the File Name, Version, Owner Size, Type and Date for each Project-dependent file. There is also an Edit File Icon for each file that links to the Edit File Screen for the particular file. The Gantt Chart section shows a graph of the Tasks assigned to the Project. The graph shows the Start Date and Target Finish Date as a blue thatched area, and the Task's Progress as a dark line. You can select a customize Date Range for plotting this information, or you can choose between two pre-defined options: show this month : show full project. Gantt Chart may require activation in your <code>php.ini</code> file. In addition, Gantt Chart has specific licensing requirements and you should confirm you are eligible for using the version bundled with DotProject.
