Projects - Administrators
Projects define a set of apps, external product links (or advertisements) and help topics that support a particular SAP lifecycle event. These are grouped into several steps, which define the phases of the project, and which should be run in sequence. Each project is based on a project type, which may be considered a template for the project. When a new project is created it includes:
-
The steps defined in its associated project type.
-
Links to the apps defined in its associated project type.
-
The advertisements and help topics defined in its associated project type.
The Project screen for Administrators displays the projects defined on the LiveCompare server, and allows users with Administrator privileges to create, edit and delete projects. Administrators may access the Projects screen from the LiveCompare Dashboard by clicking 
.
LiveCompare includes the following project types:
