APPENDIX B: OPTIONAL UNANET TOOLS

Introduction

Unanet has developed several tools to make it easier for Project Managers and Project
Leads to identify any changes in the project metrics that require attention, and to
increase the validation on timesheets and expense reports to help ensure proper
charging is taking place during the execution of the project.

These custom tools are optional; they are developed for your company as an additional
service and tailored to your specific business processes.

Right-Side Dashboard

This is a custom menu that contains links to either a
shared report or other resolvable website links such as
your payroll system. This hidden treasure provides a
user with quicker navigation to key reports in the system
that execute to a pre-configured set of criteria.

The dashboard is configured through the LINK.XML file that resides in the system
configuration folder structure. It is not visible or accessible through the UI. Cloud
customers can request a copy of their link.xml file and on-premise customers should
work with their system administrator to access the file. Updating the file is relatively
simple and there are examples in the file to assist with the HTML code. Each menu in
Unanet can have a custom right-side dashboard with links to shared reports, ad hoc
reports or external websites.
