In ActiveProject, all project information can be made available and the on-line design review keeps track of all associated comments, so any decision can be traced back.ĪctiveProject supports several graphics formats, including DWG, DWF, DXF, BMP, WMF, AVI, TIFF, and CALS for graphics and drawing viewing and manipulation. This is especially useful for a new feature in this version of ActiveProject: on-line design review. Records of all requests for information and responses are maintained by the web site so that the project administrator is aware that there are open issues and someone is responding.

If the decisions that are made affect your part of the project, you are automatically notified by e-mail. If your involvement is limited to a part of the web site, you can subscribe to e-mail and messages for that part only. Its users can add, remove, change properties, and ownership of any information published. The dynamic web site is the core of the ActiveProject concept. As the owner of the site, the project leader assigns various access rights to all members of the team as well as outside viewers, enabling them to be reviewers, publishers, or authors, as appropriate. This View-only site can be viewed with your web browser software over a network or intranet, or it can be published on the Web as a dynamic web site.ĪctiveProject Server handles administration for dynamic updates or controlling access to different parts of the web site. Once the site's structure is complete, the software will translate it into HTML for you. These files can be dragged to each element's folder and stored in the information frame. Each element under the aspect 'facility' has different information available, such as documents, spreadsheets, Gantt charts, or even animation files. Using ActiveProject's drawing tools, you overlay the outline of the buildings that will be the elements of the project aspect 'facility.' These overlays, called 'hot spots,' contain pertinent information that can be accessed through a click. Graphic information (photographs, drawings, or the ActiveProject's own primitive shapes) creates a visual reference to each project aspect.įor example, you can use an actual aerial site photograph as the background for a project for a new engineering facility. The layout under each aspect is constructed in the graphic frame.

The 'new project' wizard walks you through a nine-step process to create the first frame, which is for project aspects such as mechanical, manufacturing, scheduling, etc. The Builder screen is structured into five frames. ActiveProject is a web-collaboration tool that aims to capture, link, and update all of a project's components.ĪctiveProject Builder, the core of the two-part package, helps you organize and publish project information, and translate it into HTML.
