Open project summary reports from plan files

Why use this feature

As projects are reviewed, users can quickly and easily access the Executive Summary report, or any other report configured by the administrator, directly from the capital project plan file. This allows users to review details about the project, including detailed financial information, to make the best-informed decisions.

How this feature works

What: By default, users can now open the Executive Summary report directly from any plan file using a link. However, administrators can change the report link to open other standard or custom reports or disable the link from displaying. You can also print a PDF of the Executive Summary report.

Systems: Web and Legacy

Where: This new report link is included in the upper right corner of each plan file. Administrators can manage the link attributes in the General Setup driver.

Who: Any user with plan file access can see and open the link. Only administrators can configure the link name and file location.

How: To view the link, open any capital project plan file, and click the report link in the upper-right corner of the page. To print or save a PDF of the Executive Summary report, click the PDF icon in the upper-right corner of the page.
