Configuration Management

Module Management

The Module Management allows to choose the module(s) that will appear in the interface. Each module can be enabled/disabled individually.

This enables or disables a consistent group of features.

Module management screen

The menu at the top of the page allows you to display all the modules or to display the modules corresponding to a part of the scope of the project management.

When you have selected one of these menus, the modules are displayed below.

• Click on a module to display its description, as well as the list of screens that will be activated or desactivated.

• Click on the checkboxes to enable or disable the module.

Warning

Disabling some modules will also hide reports, all related parameters and some fields.

For example, the project and activity expense fields are hidden when the financial/expense module is disabled.

Access rights

Profiles

The profile is a group of rights. Each with specific access rights to the database.

Thus, each user is linked to a profile which defines the data that he can see and possibly manage.

Profiles screen

Value of Field “Name”

• The value of field “Name” is not the name displayed, but it is a code in the translation table.

• The value of field “Name” must be a significant name and must not contain spaces or special characters.

• The name displayed at right of the field is the translated name.

• when the new profile is created, it appears in the list of existing profiles in the list box.

• It remains between square brackets because it does not exist in Translatable name.

Tip

Ideally, the value of the field should start with “profile” to be easily identified in the translation table.

Profile description with translatable name

Field Profile code

You can put the abbreviations you need and they do not have an impact on most profiles.

However, for administrators and project managers, you must respect these codes so that the application recognizes them.

• ADM: will designate administrator.

• PL: will designate project leader.

Sort order

The sort order is important in profiles because it allows the most important profile to be placed at the top of the drop-down lists.

When a project manager assigns a resource, he can assign a profile to them, starting from his own profile and going down to the lowest one.

sort order with administrator below project leader

If the administrator profile is, due to its sort order, below the project manager in the list, in this case, the project manager could assign the administrator profile to any resource on the project in question.

Project manager can assign a resource with the administrator profile

Restriction zone

The restriction zone offers two types of restriction:

• By type based on ProjeQtOr elements (actions, activities, invoices, catalog …)

• By product versions

Access to forms

This settings screen allows you to define access to the element screens for each profile.

Users who have access to this screen cannot modify their own screen access rights.

The checkbox is read-only to make sure that at least one profile can always access it.

Only another profile with access to the screen will be able to uncheck this box.

Access to forms screen

• Click the checkbox to allow or revoke access to a profile screen.

• Click to open all sections

• Click to close all sections

Access modes

The access mode defines a combination of rights to Created, Read, Update or Delete items.

It’s the CRUD RIGHTS:

• Create rights

• Read rights

• Update rights

• Delete rights

Each access is defined as scope of visible and/or updatable, that can be, by kind of elements.

Project dependant

By default, ProjeQtOr offers 10 different access modes.

Each access defines the visibility that can be applied by type of elements dependent on a project (activity, ticket, action, …).

You can choose from several levels of visibility for each CRUD entitlement.

• No element: No element is visible and updatable.

• Own elements: Only the elements created by the user.

• Elements he is responsible for: Only the elements the user is responsible for.

• Elements of own project: Only the elements of the projects the user/resource is allocated to.

• All elements on all projects: All elements, whatever the project.

Value of Field “Name”

• The value of field “Name” is not the name displayed, but it is a code in the translation table.

• The value of field “Name” must be a significant name and must not contain spaces or special characters.

• The name displayed at right of the field is the translated name.

• when the new profile is created, it appears in the list of existing profiles in the list box.

• It remains between square brackets because it does not exist in translatable name.

Tip

Ideally, the value of the field should start with “accessProfile” to be easily identified in the translation table.

Not project dependant

The non-dependent elements of a project, such as organizations, parameters, lists of values, tools or even controls and automatisms can also be set with CRUD rights.

These elements must be visible. So the reading right is granted on a basic basis.

ProjeQtOr offers 5 different access modes where you can define creation, update and deletion rights.

• Yes: allows the right to …

• No: does not allow the right to …

• Own elements: Only the elements created by the user.

• Elements he is responsible for: Only the elements the user is responsible for.

You can then define a mode corresponding to the visibility rights that you wish to grant on each profile in the access to data not dependent on the project.

Access to data

This screen allows to set element access mode for each profile.

Allows to define scope of visibility and/or updating of data in elements for users and resources.

• Click on to open all the sections

• CLick on to closed all the sections

Project dependant

This screen is only for the elements reliant on a project.

For each element, selected the access mode granted to a profile.

Access to data (Project dependant) screen

Not project dependant

This screen allows to set for each profile, elements access rights.

Allows to grant access rights (read only or write) to users, to data on specific elements.

This screen is only for the elements not reliant on a project.

For each element, select the access rights granted to a profile.

Some features do not have a manager or are not linked specifically to a user profile, like messages, tools or even environmental parameters.

Certain access modes are therefore not offered in the drop-down lists on certain elements of this screen.

• Click on to closed all the sections

Document rights per directory

You can define the access rights to documents according to the profile at each level of the document directory tree.

By default, all values are initialized for each existing directory from the existing values in the “Project-dependent access to data” rights screen.

Specific access

This screen groups specific functionalities options. Users belonging to a profile can have access to the application specific functions. Depending on options of functionality, allows to grant access rights, to define data visibility or to enable or disable option.

For each option, select the access granted to a profile.

Note

The administrator has the possibility to force the disconnection of any user (except his own current connection, see: admin-console.

Translatable name

For profiles and access modes, the value of field “Name” is translatable.

The field “Name” in screens Profiles and Access modes is not the name displayed, but it is a code in the translation table.

The name displayed at right of the field is the translated name.

The translated name depends on user language selected in User parameters screen.

Note

If translated name is displayed between square brackets [ ], then the value of field “Name” is not found in the translation table.

Translation table files

• In ProjeQtOr, a translation table file is defined for each available language.

• The files are named “lang.js” and are localized in a directory named with ISO language code.

Tip

For instance: ../tool/i18n/nls/fr/lang.js.

How to modify the translation file?

• You can edit file “lang.js” to add translation of new value or to modify the existing value translation.

• Or, you can download Excel file named “lang.xls”, available on ProjeQtOr site. You can modify the translation tables of all languages and produce files “lang.js”.
