Linking Projects in the Lobby

Often a project is using multiple applications. For example, Primavera Cloud for scheduling and Aconex for documents and communications.

Organization Admins who control these projects can link them in the Lobby, making it clearer the two entries are the same project.

When you link two projects, all the organization project users, who can access both projects, will see them as linked. This makes the Lobby's list of projects easier for all users to understand. In the future, it will enable powerful integration and navigation features between the applications.

Tip!

Only Organization Admins who control these projects can link them. This means:

  • Your Primavera Cloud user belongs to the primary tenant.
  • You have an Aconex user account in the project-owning organization.
  1. Sign in to the Lobby at constructionandengineering.oraclecloud.com. This will display all the active, proposed and planned projects assigned to you in Aconex and Primavera Cloud.
  2. Sort the projects by name to find possible matches. Admins usually give each project similar or identical names in each product. This means sorting by name will place the instances together.

Tip!

You can choose to view the projects in a list or as cards.

  1. To link projects, choose one of the projects, click the project's menu button, then select Link project.

Tip!

The project's menu button is an ellipsis (...). It's on the card for card view or the far right-hand side for row view.

  1. Choose the project you're linking to from the drop-down menu on the right.
  1. If the name of the project on the right is a better choice, click the arrows in the center to swap the projects.
  1. The project will now appear in the list once. Click the menu button to open the project. You'll be asked which product you want to open it in.

    If the project has more than one user account, you can choose the user account as you click through to the project.

Tip!

To unlink a project, click the menu button for that project and select Unlink projects.
