Projects can be filtered by using the button next to each column header; for more information on how to use this function see Filters.
Sort projects
You can also sort items by grouping them; to do this drag the column header that you wish to group by into the blue box above the columns. This will sort the projects into groups defined by the column header, an example is shown below. I chose to sort the projects by Name so dragged it into the blue box above the columns, as you can see the projects have now been grouped by Name.
To change the order that the projects are displayed in click the column header that you wish to organise by. Clicking once will arrange them in alphabetical order defined by the information in that column.
Clicking the column header again will arrange the projects in reverse alphabetical order, clicking it for a third time will return it to normal view.

Project Shelf
Project shelf allows you to separate projects from the search so that you can perform bulk actions on them.
At the top right of project search there are 3 buttons: "Shelve", "Clear shelf and clear selected records" and "Go to shelf"
Shelve only becomes available once you have selected a project (or multiple); when you click Shelve it will add all of the selected items to the project shelf.

Once you have selected one or more of the projects you can perform bulk action on the projects from the dropdown at the top of the page. If you have selected any closed projects in the Project Shelf, the bulk actions you perform will skip the closed projects and they will not be affected. You can go to the closed projects individually and make edits if you have sufficient privileges.
The bulk actions you can perform are:
Add Resource
Select the projects you would like to add resources to and put them on the shelf, you will notice a new option in the dropdown list entitled “Add Resource”
This will open a popup window that allows the user to add resources in the form of a job role and if required add a named person to that role.
This will apply to this job role and named contact across EVERY event within the selected projects.
Continuing from the above, when selecting a job role this will populate the contact list with anyone stored with a contact record that has that role assigned. Alternatively, should you want to add a resource with a job role, but the person does not have it specified on their contact record, you can tick the “All contact” box, this will display all contacts stored on the site. % allocation is how much of their time will be required to complete this task.

The filters at the top allow you to filter on job role, only owners of events, only non-owners of event and all.
To assign a new contact to the job role click the on that row and it will bring up a pop up.
From here you can select a contact from the system for that role. you can filter the dropdown for any contact in the system or only contact with the relevant job role.

This feature allows a user to complete all of the forecast dates for a number of selected projects
This option is available from the dropdown list on the project shelf. This can be used in the case that a number of store fit outs have just been approved and their planned dates match their forecast dates. Using this feature will bulk populate all forecast dates on all selected projects to match to their planned date.

A feature which allows a user to “replan” a project timeline from the last actual date completed. For example, should a project be underway and then a a piece of paperwork be delayed in getting sign off which delays the project, this feature can be used to replan the remaining events.
