The following list shows all available tasks for this tab.

Import Keyword Lists

Click to open the Select Spreadsheet dialog box to select the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing the status and keyword list settings that you want to import into Project Center.

For example, you could use this task to import values that were entered in a spreadsheet to save time instead of manually entering them, as it is generally faster to import values from a spreadsheet.

You can access the sample status and keyword list settings spreadsheet template supplied with Project Center in its default location on the Project Center Server: C:\Program Files (x86)\Newforma\Twelfth Edition\Newforma Project Center Server\SQL\data\Keyword Lists.xlxs.

Export Selected

Click to open the Save Template dialog box to save the selected keyword list settings to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to use as a template.

Export Keyword Lists

Click to open the Save Template dialog box to save all keyword list settings to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to use as a template.

For example, you could export the default settings to a spreadsheet, edit the values in the spreadsheet, then re-import it into a project to save time. You could also export settings to save a record of them prior to making any major changes, so that you could later revert back to the original settings if necessary. Or, if your Project Center Servers cannot replicate with each other due to physical limits, you could use one status and keyword list settings template to set up two servers that have identical settings.

Keyword Lists

Use this section to add and edit project keyword lists and the keywords that appear in them. These lists are used in all Project Center projects, giving users the ability to create and edit keywords to apply to individual project items such as RFIs, submittals, action items, etc. Keywords are supported by the search feature, giving users the ability to locate project items containing the keywords, and users can filter lists based on keywords.

As an administrator, you can use the Edit Project Settings dialog box to create new global keyword lists and assign them to the activity centers of projects. Depending on the settings made in that dialog box, users can either select keywords from lists to apply to project items, or if it is enabled, they can enter their own keywords in addition to selecting keywords from a list.
