In addition to the regular columns that are provided in the base system, as the PPS
admin, you can configure which columns appear in the planning console.
You can define the columns that are available in the project planning
console, program
workbench, planning and tracking
views in portfolio workbench, and the release management Gantt chart. From this list of
defined columns, you can select the columns that you want to view in these planning console
UIs at any time.
These tables are used for custom column configuration:
- Planning Console [pm_console]: Stores the definition for planning
consoles such as Project and Portfolio.
- Planning Console Display Column [pm_console_display_column]:
Stores the planning console display columns such as Short Description, WBS, and Priority.
A console stored in [pm_console] has multiple display columns that
are stored in [pm_console_display_column].
- Planning Console Table [pm_console_table]: Contains a list of
tables which provide data to a console.
A console sources the data from multiple
tables. For example, Project console [pm_project] pulls data from
pm_project and pm_project_task table. This list of
tables is maintained in [pm_console_table].
- Planning Console Column [pm_console_columnn]: Maintains the
columns that should be pulled from each table and the mapping of the column in
pm_console_display_column.
