## Top bar

Interface areas:

Navigation buttons

New tab

Project selector

Instance name

The navigation buttons give access to previous and next pages in the history.

The Ajax technology used by ProjeQtOr makes it possible to refresh the data while preserving the structure of the solution.

This is why you will lose the session to projeqtor if you use the navigation of your internet browser.

Button New tab

The new tab button allows to open a new tab within the same session.

When you open a tab on your browser, it opens a new session of ProjeQtOr.

For the browser to open the tab as a result of the first session you must go through our navigation system.

When you are already connected to a session, a screen indicates this to you.

Click on the button to reconnect from this tab or leave this one to recover the current session.

Project list display mode

ProjeQtOr offers the possibility to display the list of projects in different ways.

> > Standard reflecting WBS structure

> > > - This is the only presentation mode where you can create favorites lists.

> > > - You can choose to display multiple projects by checking the corresponding boxes.

> > > Project list display mode standard

Favorites project

You can create several favorites project list.

project selector favorites

- Click on the displayed to the right of the project or select the project with the case to select the project to add to your favorites list.

- You can only create a favorites list from the layout representing the WBS structure in the previous tab. See: Standard display mode.

- The lists are however compatible with all presentation modes

- Each selection is highlighted with the secondary color of your session

- Click on to to be able to save your list.

- Name the liste of favoris

- Click on to save your list

- The list is stocked in the Saved favorite list table.

Favorites list in project selector

- When a project favorites list is selected it is highlighted in the secondary color of your session.

- When the list of projects is limited to favorites, we also display recursively, the visible parents of favorite projects and the visible subprojects of favorite projects whether they are favorites or not.

Example display for project selector favorites

Warning

We do not necessarily go back to the root but to the highest “visible” parent project.

For example, if we have a structure P1 => P1.1 => P1.1.1 => P1.1.1.1, if a CP is assigned to P1.1, it does not see P1, by checking P1.1.1.1 by favorite.

We display P1.1 and P1.1.1 but not P1.

Same remark as above on the limit of visibility.

- When the list of the project selector is restricted to favorites, deselecting a favorite project makes it disappear (refreshing the selector).

- When a favorites list is enabled, “all projects”, is replaced with “all favorite projects”. You can limit your list of favorites or display them in their entirety by clicking on this option. This will be the display default.

You can update your favorites list. To do this:

- Select the projects to add to your list by checking the corresponding boxes.

- Click on the to access the favorites management tab.

- Enter the name of an existing list.

- Click on the turn current selection into favorite button.

Enter the Archive Mode

This option allows you to show te closed items.

When archive mode is active, then icon is displayed in the top bar. Click on it to stop the process.

Archive mode allows you to see closed projects in the project selector.

To display closed projects in the list area of the projects screen switch the button “closed”.

This button is not visible when the archive mode is Off.

Only the administrator can see this button permanently.

When Archive mode is active, Projects lists on report parameters show closed projects.
