Projects - Administrators
Projects define a set of apps, external product links (or advertisements) and help topics that support a particular SAP lifecycle event. Projects have several steps that define the phases of the project, and that should be run in sequence. Each project is based on a project type, which serves as a template for the project. When you create a new project, it includes the following:
-
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 Projects screen for Administrators displays the projects defined on the LiveCompare server and allows users with Administrator permissions to create, edit and delete projects. Administrators can access the Projects screen from the Dashboard screen by clicking 
.
LiveCompare includes the following project types:
