Once different types of objects are connected to a project there can be occasions where the cost/revenue and hour values in the object are revised and these revisions may not be reflected on the project connection. Therefore project connection should be refreshed:
This function can be performed for all the the projects in the company when the Projects slider switch in the Refresh All section is switched on. You can select the Objects slider switch in the Refresh All section, which would refresh all the object connections in the project. Note that if it is executed for all the projects, the operation will run as a background job.
The project connections refresh will be executed for the released activities
whereas it will not be executed for the cancelled activities.
By default,
project connections refresh will exclude activities in Completed/Closed state.
If you select Completed slider switch, this function will be
executed for the activities in Completed state and if you select Closed
slider switch, this function will be executed for the activities in
Closed state.
If this function is executed during an upgrade process or if the project has too many project connections, you can switch off the Gather Statistics slider switch to refresh the cost/revenue faster than usual for the selected projects. Turning off the Gather Statistics slider switch enables you to eliminate the statistics generation and update during the cost/revenue refresh. Then the count of available connections and updated connections will not be displayed.
