Programs in FlexiProject are a tool for grouping multiple projects to manage and monitor them as a single, cohesive unit. This allows for viewing aggregated schedules, analyzing cross-project dependencies, and centrally updating individual project schedules based on dependencies between tasks.
Program management is available exclusively to users with Global Project Administrator permissions.
Adding a Program:
To create a new program, go to the Projects module from the main menu, and then select the Programs tab.
Click the + Add button.
In the window that appears, enter the program name and confirm by clicking the Add button.
Editing and Deleting a Program:
To change the program’s name or delete it, click the gear icon next to its name.
Select the appropriate option from the menu: Rename or Delete.
After creating a program, you can assign existing projects to it.
Go to the program view, and then click the Manage Projects button.
A panel will open where you can:
Add projects to the program by clicking + Add Project.
Remove projects from the program.
Change the order of projects using the drag-and-drop method.
Confirm all changes by clicking the Save button.
The main program view displays an aggregated schedule (in the form of a task list or a Gantt chart) of all projects belonging to the program.
The view is read-only – tasks cannot be edited within it.
The view configuration (visible columns, filters) is shared among all users with access to the program.
The row numbering and WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) remain separate for each project.
Clicking on a task’s name takes you directly to its details in the parent project.
Dependencies between tasks in different projects do not update automatically. To see their impact on dates, you must initiate a recalculation.
In the program schedule view, click the Recalculate Dependencies button. The button is active only if the defined dependencies will cause changes to task dates.
The system will run a simulation and highlight all tasks whose dates are set to change.
To permanently apply the changes, click the Save button.
Note: Saving the changes is irreversible and permanently updates the schedules in all projects affected by the recalculation.
