|
Calculation |
On the Calculation tab, select Automatic Calculation. Automatic calculation is the preferred setting, but it is not required. If you choose Manual Calculation, you must manually calculate the project before saving it to CA Clarity PPM. The project is recalculated whenever you open the project from CA Clarity PPM even if manual calculation is set in Microsoft Project. |
|
Calendar |
On the Calendar tab, click Set as Default to ensure the default start and end time matches the shift schedule on your system-wide standard calendar set in CA Clarity PPM. |
|
View |
On the View tab, clear the Show links between projects dialog on open check box. This feature is incompatible with CA Clarity PPM external dependencies. If selected, this option is ignored. |
|
Save |
On the Save tab, change the file location as desired. In general, you can save .MPP files to any folder. However, if you share your computer with other users and update master projects, you must set the file location to a commonly shared folder. Contact your Windows administrator for assistance. |
