Configure PM Central Department sites

Getting Started with PM Central	Create a PM Central Department Site

Department sites allow project managers and administrators to view, track and manage a subset of the portfolio’s projects according to specific filtering criteria that you provide.

When working with Department sites keep in mind:

• Department sites will not display project information until a project site has been created that meets the filter criteria defined.

• Department sites will be filtered by columns associated with the Project Health list

• By default, you can only filter on values found in specific columns of the Project Health list (see image below). For information on how to filter a department site using the contents of a custom column added to the Project Health list click here
