Graphical User Interface¶

ProjeQtOr interface is divided into several areas.

Overview graphical user interface screen¶

Note

Area separation

Windows splitters — The splitters allow resizing areas in the interface. The position of splitters is saved and retrieved on each connection.¶

Top bar¶

The navigation buttons give access to previous and next pages in the history.

The Ajax technology used by ProjeQtOr makes it possible to refresh the data while preserving the structure of the solution.

This is why you will lose the session to projeqtor if you use the navigation of your internet browser.

Button New tab

The new tab button allows to open a new tab within the same session.

When you open a tab on your browser, it opens a new session of ProjeQtOr.

For the browser to open the tab as a result of the first session you must go through our navigation system.

When you are already connected to a session, a screen indicates this to you.

Click on the button to reconnect from this tab or leave this one to recover the current session.

When the list of projects is limited to favorites, we also display recursively:

visible parents of favorite projects

Warning

Be careful, we do not necessarily go back to the root but to the highest “visible” parent project. For example, if we have a structure P1=>P1.1=>P1.1.1=>P1.1.1.1, if a CP is assigned to P1.1, it does not see P1, by checking P1.1.1.1 by favorite, we display P1.1 and P1.1.1 but not P1)

The visible subprojects of favorite projects whether they are favorites or not.

Warning

Same remark as above on the limit of visibility.

Example display for project selector favorites¶

When the list of the project selector is restricted to favorites, deselecting a favorite project makes it disappear (refreshing the selector).

When a favorites list is enabled, “all projects”, is replaced with “all favorite projects”. You can limit your list of favorites or display them in their entirety by clicking on this option. This will be the display default.
