Non-Default Configuration for Project Status Inquiry
If the default configuration does not meet your business needs, you can configure Project Status Inquiry to display alternate columns. You can display the information that is important for managing your business by defining rules to derive alternate column values to display in the Project Status window.
Project Status Inquiry (PSI) uses a maximum of 33 columns: 3 text columns for descriptions or comments, and 30 numeric columns for ratios, percentages, and amounts. Each status folder (project, task, and resource) in Project Status Inquiry can display all or a portion of the columns available to that folder.
Note: Each folder can display only values that are appropriate to the folder type. For example, only a Resource PSI folder can display quantities.
Considerations for Your Company's PSI Column Strategy
Consider the following points before altering your PSI column configuration:
- Each status folder can have an entirely different combination of columns.
- You can define rules for columns that read data from any table or view in an Oracle database. See: PSI Extension.
- Altering column definitions can degrade your product's performance. You should consider the performance implications of any new column definition.
