Links ===== .. :index: Links Cross-project links are different from normal links in two points: - Successor project is not shifted automatically, if a finish date of the predecessor project takes a new time position. But it sets a delay (negative or positive). - Excluding a delay the cross-project link has a time reserve, i.e. after the linking two projects, the time difference between the end of a predecessor and the start of a successor is accepted not only as a delay but also as a reserve, if necessary. |image0| Here you can check and edit the cross-project links. The following selection criteria are available: |image1| You can set time frames or box **Filter ** enter a keyword for the columns **Project / Activity**. **Functions** |image2| +------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | |image3| | **Status accepted** | +------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | |image7| | **Conflict message** | +------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | |image4| | **Shift successor** | +------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | |image6| | **Correct delay by reserve** | +------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | |image5| | **Revision history** | +------------+--------------------------------------------------+ **Status** The column **Status** can check whether any temporal changes related to the startor the end of the cross-project links were held and conflicts developed. **Time conflict** You have created a link between two planned projects, while the cross-project link was created with negative delay, because the second project starts earlier than the first project ends. |image8| Then temporal shifts took place in the first project and, it means, that predecessor had ended the activity 7 days later than it was planned earlier. |image10| The value in the column **Reserve** provides you with information,for how many days original plan was changed. The **red** colour indicates that your time deficit has become greater. The **green** colour indicates that you have won a time reserve. **Shift successor** After clicking on the icon button |image4| the dates of the successor project are shifted because of the link to the reserve value. |image12| When you open the portfolio in Rillsoft project next time, you will get a message about changes in the successor project. **Revision history** After clicking on the icon button |image5| you can read history for linking. |image9| **Correct delay by reserve** Clicking on the icon button |image6| allows recalculating of the delay based on reservation. .. |image0| image:: ../images/link.png :alt: .. |image1| image:: ../images/link_filter.png :alt: .. |image2| image:: ../images/link_action.png :alt: .. |image3| image:: ../images/link_status.png :alt: .. |image4| image:: ../images/link_project_move.png :alt: .. |image5| image:: ../images/id_project_version.png :alt: .. |image6| image:: ../images/link_reserve_save.png :alt: .. |image7| image:: ../images/link_conflict.png :alt: .. |image8| image:: ../images/link_delay_1.png :alt: .. |image9| image:: ../images/link_revision.png :alt: .. |image10| image:: ../images/link_delay_2.png :alt: .. |image11| image:: ../images/link_delay_3.png :alt: .. |image12| image:: ../images/link_delay_4.png :alt:
