application. If permission is granted, you can access Projects
application through the Application menu.

What is projects?
When you select the Projects option from the application menu, they are taken to the Imports module. The Imports module displays a grid of tables. To view specific data, you need to select the table of the data they want to review. Projects are available in a grid view. The data tables containing imported client data are listed.
Each table displays a set of default fields, which are limited to the table you are viewing. You
are able to adjust these default fields by using the Column management widget
to add and remove fields. In addition to adding and removing fields, you can also apply a filter to
the grid. Furthermore, you can sort, resize, and rearrange the order of columns on the grid. These
grid preferences are known as views, and can be saved either publicly or privately for reuse. You
can switch between saved views as needed. A bulk edit option is also available so that you can make
multiple edits simultaneously.
Note: All changes are immediately saved back to the database and
available for public access.
Some tables display fields from two distinct tables in a grid. However, the filter dialog displays fields from only one table. First, in the grid, select the field cell. Then add a filter. By selecting a field cell, you set the table for the filter.
