Use

In this Customizing activity, you can do the following:

  • Map item types to project types or project templates

    If you have selected a particular mapping between item type and project template, you can also map decision points of an item type to phases of a project template.

    You can map more than one project templates to one item type. When you create a portfolio item, the system displays all the mapped templates in a selection view. When you select a specific project template, the system creates a project out of the template chosen. If you do not select a template, the system creates a project with the project type that is mapped to item type.

    Note: You cannot map more than one project type to one item type.

  • Map item types to PS projects or PS profiles

    If you have selected a particular mapping between item type and PS project, you can do the following:

    • Map decision points of an item type to PS WBS elements (depending on your selection on item type level)
    • Map decision points of an item type to PS network activities (depending on your selection on item type level)

      Note: You can only map an item template DP to either one of the following objects: PS WBS element or PS network activity.
