Setting the Industry Type

After installing P6 Professional, you must set the industry type for the software. The industry type determines the terminology and default calculation settings that display in P6 Professional.

To set the industry type, complete the following steps:

Log in to P6 Professional.
Choose Admin, Admin Preferences.
Click the Industry tab.
Select the option that most closely aligns with your industry.
Note: If you set the industry type and later change it, the new industry setting is immediately effective for new users. However, the change will not take effect for users who have logged in since it was last set. For information on how to make it effective for existing users, refer to the article "How To Change The P6 Industry Type In P6 PPM (Professional), P6 EPPM R8.2 And Later Releases" (Doc ID 1386047.1) at http://support.oracle.com.

The following table lists each industry type and its corresponding terminology and default settings:
