Applications - Overview

Changepoint PPM is designed to be flexible and as part of this flexible design includes a wide variety of applications.

There are two primary types of applications in PPM:

• Global Applications—These cross-workspace applications are accessible from the global tabs visible on every screen and are intended for use by all users.
  
  Global applications provide you immediate access to data specific to you. Open an application by clicking a tab. A list of items specific to that application displays (issues, tasks, or documents, for example). Use the Actions icon to open a context-sensitive Actions menu of item-specific actions, or click on the name of an item to open the details window. For more information, see Global Applications Overview.
   
• Workspace Applications—These workspace-specific applications are accessible from the Workspace Menu within each workspace and are intended primarily for project managers and other workspace team members.
  
  Workspace applications give you access to information for the workspace, including information about items belonging to all the workspace team members. You can view data in several different formats with workspace applications, including some views that illustrate relationships between items, like a Gantt chart view of project tasks.
  
  Use the Actions icon , or, in the Tasks List view and dynamic application Item List views, right-click on an item to open a context-sensitive Actions menu of item-specific actions. You can also click on an item name to open the details window. For more information, see Workspace Applications Overview.
  
  Note: If you do not have administrative permissions and run a workspace application, you will only see your own items. You will not see items belonging to other team members.

In addition to the (native) applications, you can create custom Dynamic Applications. For more information, see Dynamic Application Overview.
