When the Configurations button is expanded, the following resources are made available:
 

Project

Default task type: this field will be filled in by the system with the default task type defined in the project type, but it is possible to edit it. In this case, select the type that will classify the tasks included in the projects.

Color: select the color that will identify the project in the resource allocation schedules.

Pattern: select the pattern that will identify the project in the resource allocation schedules.

View profile: this field will be filled in with the default view profile defined in the project type, but it can be edited. In this case, select the view profile that will be applied to the SE GanttChart visions of the project template. Use the other buttons next to this field to view the data of the selected view profile, to restore the profile to the configurations of its record, and to clear the field.

Schedule from: choose whether the schedule of the projects from the template must be defined from the start date or end date of the project. The ideal is for the project schedule to be defined from the planned start date; however, in some cases, the best option is to define it from the end date, such as when it is of uttermost importance that the project be finished on a specific date.

Currency: define the default currency for the projects from the template. The currencies shown are added through the SoftExpert Configuration > Configuration > System (CM006) menu, in the Currencies section.

Allow this project to be edited by the responsible in charge of the macro-project?: check this option so that, if the projects from the template are subprojects, the party responsible for the parent project (macroproject) can also make changes to them.

Generate automatic identifier in the tasks: this option will be shown checked or unchecked, depending on the configurations set in the project type, but it can be changed. In this case, check this option in order for the ID # of the tasks from the project template to be generated by the system. Thus, the system will generate a sequential number to identify the tasks; it cannot be edited.

Allow the process status to be changed according to the change in the project status: check this option to allow for changing the status of the processes with which the project is associated. The status will be changed when the cancel, postpone, and reactivate actions are executed in the project, and when the association between project and instance is a blocking one. For the project to be reactivated automatically, the process instance must be activated again manually. The process history will store the explanation and the information that the status has been changed automatically through integration with SoftExpert Project.

Request countersign: check this option so that a countersign is requested in order for actions to be performed in the projects from the template. The requested countersign is defined in the general configurations of the system.

Resource > Cost

This section must be filled out only after resources are allocated to the tasks of the project template. In it, it is possible to add the estimated costs referring to the resources involved in the projects created from the template.

Audit

This section will only be displayed if the type that classifies the project template has SoftExpert Audit automation configured.

In the Occurrence tracking subsection, check the Requires tracking option so that all occurrences and incidents associated with the audits based on the projects from the template are tracked. Then, define the team responsible for tracking the occurrences. The members of the selected team will receive the occurrence tracking task in the SoftExpert Audit component. To finish, enter the deadline in days for the closure of all occurrences associated with the audit.

In the Automatic requirement update subsection, define whether, when new revisions of the reference requirements associated in the project structure are released, the structure must be updated automatically or not.
