Create Schema’s for Projects with Varying Demands
The NEW My Schema feature lets you create template schema’s which can then be selected when projects are created to provide differing document sets depending on the needs of the project being managed. You can now change the documents used during project framework creation as well as adding links to your own, tailored guidance documents or web pages that can then be accessed from within the project framework when needed.
Supports More Document Types
Version 2 now supports ANY document when creating projects. Although by default Microsoft Word/Excel documents are used by using the My Schema feature you can now assign your own files of ANY format to ANY document type in OPTi-P2. This means you could use Open Office documents, PDF’s RTF or any other document file format.
New Map Design with Next & Previous Activity
The newly designed maps now have branches that enable you to move forward and back through activities without having to go back to the Project Desktop. The maps have also bee populated with icons to indicate required actions when required. Simply hover the mouse over an icon to see what action is expected.
