Configuring CA Clarity PPM Web Parts in Non-CA Clarity PPM Project Sites (Microsoft SharePoint Connector) › Configure CA Clarity PPM Web Parts in Non-CA Clarity PPM Project Sites

Configure CA Clarity PPM Web Parts in Non-CA Clarity PPM Project Sites

CA Clarity PPM Web Parts are not restricted to CA Clarity PPM project sites, and you can add them to any existing SharePoint site on your organization network. Also create a site by using a site template of your choice and add CA Clarity PPM Web Parts to it.

You can add CA Clarity PPM Web Parts to a non-CA Clarity PPM project site if you have a permission level of Design or Full Control for the Web Part page. You would also require a CA Clarity PPM proxy user account that has View access rights in CA Clarity PPM for the project to bind the Web Part.

Unlike the site properties of CA Clarity PPM project sites, the site properties of non-CA Clarity PPM project sites do not include CA Clarity PPM server binding parameters. Therefore, the CA Clarity PPM Web Parts that you add to non-CA Clarity PPM project sites cannot inherit the CA Clarity PPM server binding parameters from the site. In non-CA Clarity PPM project sites, explicitly provide these parameters to bind a CA Clarity PPM Web Part to a CA Clarity PPM server.

To provide this information while configuring CA Clarity PPM Web Parts in non-CA Clarity PPM project sites, you can configure individual CA Clarity PPM Web Parts that are in the same site to connect to:

• Different projects on the same CA Clarity PPM server
• Projects from different CA Clarity PPM servers.
• Therefore, you can have CA Clarity PPM Web Parts displaying CA Clarity PPM project information-lists, documents, and charts that are based on information from various projects on different CA Clarity PPM servers-in a non-CA Clarity PPM project site alongside non-CA Clarity PPM List Web Parts, SharePoint lists, and libraries. CA Clarity PPM users can view this aggregated CA Clarity PPM project information and collaborate with each other. For example, you can use CA Clarity PPM Web Parts to display finance information, from various finance projects, on a site that is meant for members of the finance department. People who are interested in these projects, and who have appropriate permission levels for the site, can view this aggregate information.

In non-CA Clarity PPM project sites, except for configuring the binding information, you can manage CA Clarity PPM Web Parts in the same way you manage CA Clarity PPM Web Parts in a CA Clarity PPM project site.
