A Project in Calpendo has at least the following properties:
Property Name |
Description |
|
---|---|---|
Project Code |
This should be a short, unique code for the project. Calpendo will make sure that this is not the same as any other project (unless it's empty, as would be typical of a new project before an administrator assigns a code). |
|
Type |
This is the project's type. See Types And Groups to understand how types are used. It is possible that Calpendo has been configured so that there are no project types. If this is the case, then it ought to have been configured so that the project's type property is not visible. See Property Visibility for more details. |
|
Status |
A project status has one of the following values:
|
|
Name |
Description |
|
Requested |
This is the status used when a project is first created. bookings may not be created for a project that is in this state. |
|
Restricted |
This status means the project is bookable by the Resource Manager and Admins, but not by Project Users or Owner. |
|
Approved |
This status means that the project is bookable. |
|
Denied |
This status indicates that it was decided the project should not be allowed, for whatever reason. Projects in this state are not bookable. |
|
Terminated |
This status indicates that the project has been used for making bookings, but that the project has now come to an end. A terminated project is not bookable. |
|
Unbookable |
This status indicates the project is not bookable for some other reason. Typically, the Project Template is given this status. |
|
Owner |
This is the user that owns the project. Normally, this would be the user that created the project, but an administrator could change the ownership of a project. |
|
Name |
This is the name of the project, and is intended to be a short description of it |
|
Description |
This is a longer description of the project. |
|
Project Resource Settings |
This is a list of settings, for each resource, that give per-project and per-resource information. This is described further below. |
|
Project Service Settings |
This is a list of the services available to the project. |
|
Users |
This is a list of the users that are associated with the project. Only users associated with a project may book against that project. The exceptions to this rule are: 1) a user with the Admin role may book for any project. 2) a user in a Resource Managers group can book for any project (for their resources only) |
|
Project Groups |
Which project groups the project is a part of. |
These properties represent a reasonable minimum that would be required to get started, but any facility that makes good use of projects will be likely to want many more properties. Calpendo may well have additional properties configured for its projects. See the Bakery for the details of how to configure properties on a project.
A Project Resource Settings has the following properties:
Property Name |
Description |
---|---|
Resource |
This is the resource this Project Resource Settings pertains to |
Project |
The Project this Resource Settings belongs to |
Number of Sessions |
This is the total number of bookings that are expected to be used by this project for this resource. |
minutesPerSession |
This is the expected average duration of each booking for this project on this resource. |
costPerSession |
This is the expected average cost of each booking for this project on this resource. |
costPerHour |
This is the cost to be charged for each hour. |
Again, as for projects, your Calpendo may have additional properties configured for Project Resource Settings. Such extra properties could be used in Booking Rules or in generating reports.
