Project codes and values

You can organize the projects in your EPS (Enterprise Project Structure) in groups according to specific categories, such as location and manager, using project codes.

You can define unlimited hierarchical project codes to fulfill the filtering, sorting, and reporting requirements for your projects, and arrange them hierarchically for easier management and assignment.

The Project Codes dictionary is global to the entire enterprise.

You can assign a project code value to projects for each project code you create.

Use project codes to group projects, consolidate large amounts of information, and to distinguish one project from another. All projects assigned a value for a code are grouped by their corresponding values when you group and sort by project code. Any projects not assigned a value for the project codes are placed at the bottom of the view under a No Code grouping band.

Tips

• You can group by project code in the Open Project dialog box and in the Projects window by right-clicking anywhere in the dialog box or view, choosing Group and Sort By, then selecting the project code name. All predefined project codes are available in the Group and Sort By menu.
• View Project Codes as columns in the Activities and WBS column views. The project code value associated with the currently open projects appears in the row for each activity.
