Working with Enterprise Project Codes

Microsoft Project Professional uses enterprise project outline codes to enable the management of projects across an enterprise. When the enterprise project outline codes are assigned to projects, project data can be viewed and analyzed in a variety of ways, using the Project Center and the Resource Center.

Applying Outline Codes and Custom Fields to Projects

After the enterprise project outline codes and custom fields have been defined and entered into the Enterprise Global, project managers can assign those codes to individual projects.

To apply enterprise project outline codes to enterprise projects, follow these steps:

1. Select Project, Project Information to display the defined enterprise project custom fields, as shown in Figure 26.31.

   Figure 26.31. The * at the end of an enterprise custom field indicates that it is a required field.

   

2. Select the value for each Custom Field from the drop-down lists in the Value column, and then click OK.

3. When you are done, save the project to the Project server.
