Project Content Editor
What can I do with the project pages editor?
This editor allows you to customize and create pages, that appear as tabs on your project’s home page, that help you organize the various aspects of your project making it easy for project members and visitors to your project to find important information related to your project.
What are the components I can add to my project pages?
You can add the following components to any of these pages choosing the format that will best suit your requirements.
- Activity table : A HTML snippet that has sample content
- Metrics report - single : Placeholder for a Project Metrics report
- Metrics report - double : Placeholder for two Project Metrics reports
- Documents: This places a 'Document Upload' widget on the project page that allows you to upload documents which are further committed to your project's Subversion repository
- Milestones table : If you use the Project Dashboard tool, the upcoming project milestones are displayed on your project page
- Project tracker query : This allows you to display the artifacts listed by a Project Tracker query
- Project overview : This allows you to list project overview (Summary, Owners, License etc) information to be listed in your project page
- Subprojects: This allows you to list all the subprojects of the project to be listed in the project page
- HTML - An HTML snippet that can be edited using WYSIWYG editor
How do I get started?
If you have the proper permissions, hit the Edit Project Pages link on the project’s home page. From there you can add a page to your project, and add subpages or freeform pages under that page. You can set up a project page to hold content directly, or use the page as a container to hold subpages.
You can edit your page anytime. You can change the name and description of the page, as well as redefine the subpage and contents for the page. You can reorder the sequence of the display of the subpages or components in the contents by changing their Sequence level in their numerical order.
You can copy a subpage that allows you to create a replica of the original and then edit it to suit your requirements. You can also remove a subpage or a component from the contents anytime during the edit process.
Can I control access to my project pages?
You can restrict project pages from being viewed by everyone by choosing an availability level that allows only certain privileged users to view them. The levels are:
- All users
- User’s with Project-Edit permissions
- None
How do I monitor my project using the project pages editor?
You can add a Project Dashboard milestones console, a link to Project Tracker information and a link to a report or a chart to your project page.
- To allow users to conveniently see the Project Dashboard information you want them to know about, put the Project Dashboard milestones console right on the project page.
- To highlight an activity report about your project, you can configure a report or a chart or you can embed a configured report on a project page.
- To let users conveniently see the Project Tracker information you want them to know about, put the Project Tracker query right on the project page.
How is Subversion connected to the Project Pages Editor?
The contents of your project home page are organized structurally in a directory in Subversion.
If all the elements of the Project Pages are automatically stored in Subversion, what is the directory structure?
You will not have to manually create a Subversion project or structure it for convenient access. CollabNet does it for you.
However, you can manually modify the project files, if you understand the Subversion structure that is used to store them. Within this directory structure:
- level 1 contains the page name
- level 2 contains the subpage, documents, templates, snippets, inaccessible-stage-icons, and freeform pages if any.
- level 3 contains the freeform page and the documents, templates, icons, snippets and freeform pages within this freeform page.
- level 4 contains documents, snippets and freeform pages, if any.
Can I edit the project pages using Subversion and an HTML editor?
Yes, you can use Subversion to make changes to the project pages. Whether you are using the CollabNet Baseline Project Template or another available custom process, you can configure the project pages you are using for your individual project. To add or edit pages and subpages to your project page
- From your project's home page click the link Subversion in the left navigation tools menu.
- Using your Subversion client, checkout your project pages files. By default, the project pages are available at: [projectname]/trunk/www/cn-project-pages
- Make your edits to the project pages files and commit them.
Why is the text on pages within CEE too small for me to see easily?
The CSS on CEE pages uses pixels to set the font-size. Currently this causes Internet Explorer's text enlarging to not work. Are you using Internet Explorer? If so, this is easy to get around. All you need to do is:
How to edit a document uploaded to a project page?
Editing of document uploaded to a project page cannot be done on the UI. To edit a document:
- Checkout the folder which as the document
- Update the document and upload it again in the same page (it will create its new version in Subversion)
