This activity is used to connect a project and related information to a design object. A project and an activity can be entered for a design object on Design Object page or Design Object Project Connections page.
The purpose of this activity is to establish a manual connection between the design object in IFS/Asset Design and an activity in IFS/Project. The connection is created when you select a project and an activity for the design object. If planned hours, costs and progress are defined on the object, these values are automatically updated on the project activity. Next, the total cost and hours are calculated and you can view and analyze these values on the project activity. You can also enter or update the planned values and progress on an object after establishing the connection. For more information refer to the about description, Project Management in IFS/Asset Design.
It is possible to select a project without specifying an activity. However, the connection between the design object and a project is not complete, and the planned values and progress cannot be viewed or updated on the project.
A connection is created between the design object and a project, and it will be possible to report planned values on the project activity.
