The project overview provides a convenient access point to everything that is related to a specific project.

The Overview Tab displays general information about the project.

The Forms Tab displays all the forms relevant to the selected project.  Clicking on any form will open it in exactly the same way as if you found the form through one of the other means described in the Tutorial.

The Budget Section allows a Project Manager, PMU Manager or Municipal Manager to update the Project Funding of a project.  The baseline for this information is obtained from MIG 1 Section 6.2.  The amount by which the total project funding (Incl. VAT) can be changed without re-registration is 20% of the amount that the project was first registered for.

If the change exceeds 20% of the original amount, the MIS initiates an amendment by opening a copy of the last registered MIG 1 form.  Section 3 of the copy will show the updated budget but the MIS cannot update Section 6 automatically.  Once you have amended Section 6 and submitted the amendment, it will follow the normal workflow process from Municipal Manager to Senior Manager Finances.

The Target Dates Section allows a Project Manager, PMU Manager or Municipal Manager to update the Target Dates of a project.  The baseline for target dates is obtained from MIG 1 Section 7.  It is no longer possible to update Target Dates on MIG 4, 5, 6 or 8.

The Planned Employment Generation and Socio Economic Impact Sections allow a Project Manager, PMU Manager or Municipal Manager to update the planned Employment Generation obtained from MIG 5 Section 5 and the planned Socio Economic Impact first obtained from MIG 1 Section 5 and then MIG 5 Section 6.

This Actual Employment Generation and Socio Economic Impact Sections allow a Project Manager, PMU Manager or Municipal Manager to adjust the actual Employment Generation and Socio Economic Impact once a project has been completed.  During the implementation phase of the project, this information is obtained as before from MIG 8 Sections 4 and 5.

The Cash Flow Tab allows you to update the cash flow for the selected project without submitting MIG 5, 6 or 8 forms.  A warning message is displayed if there is an unregistered MIG 4 in the workflow to alert you that your changes will be overwritten when the form is registered.

The Claims Tab provides a history of all previous payments summarised by funding source and by company.  It also keeps track of retention held by company.  As long as there is a positive balance by funding source and by company, there is sufficient funding available to process the claim.

The audit trail functionality allows any user to trace the history of changes made through any of the project maintenance screens.  To view the audit trail:

1.   Select an information group from the dropdown list.

2.   Optionally specify a start and end date to restrict the number of audit trail entries returned.

3.   Click View on the Action Bar.
