1. Who can create requests on my platform?

Requests can come in through multiple channels: automated via APIs, but also manually (e-mail sent to the PMO, requests raised during coffee breaks, exchanges in the office, etc.). Project MonitorProject Monitor...). Project MonitorProject Monitor becomes a mailbox for requests, making life easier for the PMO and all project stakeholders.

A project manager or administrator can create a project on the platform, and now a contributor can issue project requests.

Two new roles will be assigned to him, enabling him to create a project solely via a template.

  1. Click on the Main menuMain menu.
  2. Click AdministrationAdministration > User management > RolesRoles.
  3. Create a new general and/or hierarchical role.
  4. Assign only these two rights to the role :
    • Creating a project using a templateCreating a project using a template
    • Using templates in projectsUsing templates in projects
  5. Create a new role and check the box Project teamProject team.
  6. Check these rights for this role only:
    • Viewing attributes in the projectViewing attributes in the project
    • Updating attributes in the projectUpdating attributes in the project
    • Consulting forms in projectsConsulting forms in projects
    • Consultation of a project to which the user is assignedConsultation of a project to which the user is assigned
  7. Assign these two roles to the users concerned.
✅
So, with these two roles, the user can have basic rights over the project, without changing licenseproject manager). This user will always have a contributor role .

2. How do I create a project template to facilitate request management?

In this template, you can inherit abacus types, such as :

  • forms with attributes to fill in...
  • a schedule,
  • resources,
  • budget items,
  • risks,
  • tasks,
  • exchanges.

Next, we need to create a dedicated template , which will be attached to the same hierarchical level as the right acquisition level.

  1. Click on the Main menuMain menu.
  2. Click on AdministrationAdministration > Templates > ProjectProject.
  3. Click on Add.
  4. Complete basic information.
  5. Click on RegisterRegister.
  6. Fill in the information that will be copied from this template when a project is created.

3. How do I create a project using a template ?

🚦
Each way of creating a project is linked to a specific right. Contact your administrator if necessary. The right Creating a project using a templateCreating a project using a template upgrades to Contributor license level: allows you to create a project from a template as an Applicant.

The creator will appear in the project setup team with the selected roles.
  10. Click on Create and save to validate the creation.
✅
Your project is created with the information entered in the creation form and inherits the characteristics, properties, themes, display and aperiodic data of the chosen template .

4. How can I get more (reliable) data on a request?

You may need to study this application further. To do this, you need to include more data in your request.

This instruction is objective, complete and reliable.

To add more elements, you can reapply a template to your project to inherit other forms or abacuses.

  1. Click on the relevant project.
  2. Click on SettingSetting.
  3. Click on Setup - Templates tabSetup - Templates tab.
  4. Click on Insert template content.
