Question:
The Project List on the Home Dashboard shows columns of information. How can we edit this information? Where does this information come from?
Answer:
The information on the Project List (Photo; Project Name and ID; Start and Completion dates; Description; Location; Status; and Schedule) cannot be edited directly. The information comes from several places, mostly on the Project Setup document, and must be edited at the source.
