Objective

To edit the information that appears on the landing page of one of the project groups in the company.

Background

A project is a construction effort with a defined start and end date with specific goals and objectives that, when obtained, signify completion of the project. A project group is a group of related construction projects that provide your organization with benefits from managing projects as a group, over managing projects individually. There are countless ways to organise your company's projects into project groups, such as:

Region. For example, you might create project groups for the four (4) regions of the U.S., such as 'Northeast', 'Midwest', 'South', and 'West.'
Sector. For example, you might create project groups for the different construction sectors, such as 'Buildings', 'Infrastructure', and 'Industrial.'
Project Management. For example, you might create project groups for 'Internal Projects' and 'External Projects'.

After creating a new program (see Add Programs), use the steps below to add the program's details.

- Website. If your company or project group has a related website, you can add a helpful hyperlink, which will appear under the project group's location information.

For example, you might want to a link to a live webcam feed, web portal, map view, aerial view, and so on. If you do NOT want to display a webpage in an iFrame, leave this field blank.
- iFrame Height. Specify the height (in pixels) of the iFrame that you want to display on the project group's page. The default value is 500px. If you do NOT want to display a webpage in an iFrame, enter 0.
