Global data vs. project-specific data

You can store project data at an enterprise level and a project level. Whether the data you store are global or project-specific depends on the data type.

• Global data are defined at the enterprise level and are available to all projects across the enterprise. Examples of global data include the EPS and OBS, and resource and role information. You can access most enterprise-level data from the Enterprise menu or the Enterprise toolbar.
• Project-specific data are defined at the project level and are available only to that project. Examples of project data include activities, WBS, and work products and documents. You can access most project-specific data from the Project menu or the Project toolbar.

Some data can be defined at either a global or project level. For example, you can create global calendars to define available workhours that apply to all projects, and project calendars to define available workhours unique to a specific project.
