Specific parameters about Gantt planning presentation.
Do not start before the validated start date

Allocation & Assignation
Specific parameter for Pool of resource et behavior on activities.
Automatic allocation of pool resources
Automatic allocation of resources of the pool when allocating a pool to a project.
Explicit allocation
When you assign the pool to the project, the resources will appear in the allocation table in addition to the pool row.
And in the drop-down list of resources for assigning to activities.
Implicit allocation
When you assign the pool to the project, only the row of the pool is shown in the allocation table.
The resources composing it are however present in the drop-down list of resources on the table of assignments.
No
None of the resources making up the pool are visible in the assignments table and they will not appear in the drop-down list of assignments.
Status change on assignment
When you assign a resource to a schedulable element of ProjeQtOr, you can modify the status of the element when creating an assignment.
For this behavior to be effective, you must specify which status will trigger this behavior. See: Status
When creating the assignment, the status will be automatically changed unless it was already in the trigger status..
Automation
Parameters to manage automations
Consolidate validated work & cost
Select if validated work & cost are consolidated on top activities and therefore for projects.
Select whether posted work and cost are consolidated across major activities and therefore across projects.
It is therefore the charges and costs of the sub-activities that will be transferred to the “mother” activities and therefore to the projects.
Never: Not consolidated. Charges and costs will only be entered and consolidated manually.
Always: The values are always replaced on the parent activities and the project. If the parent activities were filled in then the values will be overwritten by the child activities.
Only is set: Replaces values only if parents are given. An exception is made if the parent is set to 0 / “null”. In this case, the parent is not overwritten.
Auto set Responsible if single resource:
Behavior about management of responsible, including automatic initialization of responsible.
Automatically set Responsible if not set and by the only one resource allocated to the project
Auto allocated manager to the project:
Automatically create an allocation for the project Manager to the project. He should be a resource.
Auto set responsible if needed:
Automatically set Responsible to current resource (as using the element) if not set and if a Responsible is required (respecting access rights)
Auto assign responsible to activity:
Assign automatically the Responsible to activity
Auto set parent status:
Automatically set the status of the parent element (in the WBS structure) from the status of the child elements.
So that when the first child changes to “in progress”, the parent changes to “in progress” and when all children are done, the parent changes to done.
Copy items directlty to status “recorded”
When you copy elements in projeQtOr, many options are available as well as the possibility to check a box that will move the copied element to the first state of your workflow.
Without this box enabled, the element will remain in the intermediate state “copied” which could cause errors in calculations or automation.
Enabling this setting allows you to automatically check the box in the element copy function.

Single Sign On SAML2
Single sign-on is a method that allows a user to access multiple computer applications (or secure websites) by performing a single authentication.
With the single sign on you do not go through the login screen of projeqtor but by a screen dedicated to single sign-on¶
When connected to the SSO service, the service tells each application that the user is logged on.
This avoids having to connect to applications one by one.
In concrete terms, the site or service to which the user is trying to connect makes a request to the server or the identity provider’s site. This one asks if the user is connected. If so, he transmits the information.
Depending on the protocol used, the two sites exchange keys, signatures and / or other information to verify the identity of the user.
You always find the name of the item that is related to your application. A single click takes you to the item page.
The line in the header tells you where your answer should be positioned to allow you to retrieve the response text in your ProjeQtor instance without the original message.
Signing start identifier
When you have completed the IMAP settings for receiving emails, you receive your email with a new header. See the image below.
The fields allows you to identify the beginning of your signature in order to avoid retrieving the signature in the response.
For example, enter, so that ProjeQtOr recognizes that your signature begins with this word. He will not take back everything behind.
Action after processed emails
You can determine what action to perform when receiving the email.
Mark as read, which is the default
Removal
Global parameter for automatic import for replies email¶
Note
IMAP host
Must be an IMAP connection string.
To connect to GMAIL input box, host must be: {imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX
You must set these parameters if you want to use the Not receive his own mails option in the user settings
Automatic planning calculation
Activated or desactived this feature by simple click
Differential calculation
Project planning is recalculated only for those who need to be. A data or more has been changed into the project so a new calculation is expected.
Complete calculation
All projects planning are recalculated.
Automatic feeding of the real
You automatically fill in the actual work from the scheduled work up to a given date.
The automatic calculation of projects from the day after this date is triggered.
The actual work is automatically entered from the scheduled work until the day before the start of the schedule calculation.
Warning
For security, and to avoid overlapping with a manual input of reality, if the resource has reality for a given date, we do not copy the possible planned existing in reality.
For each scheduled job found, if no job exists for the relevant resource on the date of the scheduled job, copies the scheduled job to an actual job.
We will mark the actual work entered automatically (technical zone type label) to distinguish between automatic feeding and manual feeding.
This area will not be processed for screen renderings, but will analyze any unexpected behavior.
Frequency
Select the frequency on the calendar by clicking on the button defined parameters and choose the schedule, day, month.

will then be displayed in the menu of the details area of each element.
