Field definitions for project and subproject properties

Program managers or project managers can modify the project's Properties values after the project is created.

Field name	Definition	Valid values
Name	Uniquely identifies this project.
Description	Describes this project (short description).
Plan ID	Specifies a unique ID for this object (project or subproject). This value is automatically generated when the project is created, although it can be modified prior to saving the project.	This value cannot be modified once the project has been created.
Target Program ID	Identifies which program, by program ID and program name, a new project is being created under. This field is displayed when using Save As on a program timeline to create a new project.	Select from a list of valid programs.
Type	Identifies the object type, which is Project or Sub Project.
State	Reflects the current status of the project or subproject.	Not Started, In Progress, Complete, Closed (out-of-the-box values)
Program	Identifies which program this project belongs to. Applies only to projects.	This value cannot be modified.
Long Description	Describes this project or subproject (long description).
Owner	Identifies the owner of this object (project).	Use Change Owner to modify this value.
Group ID	Identifies the assigned classification of this object.	Use Change Owner to modify this value.
Classification	A configurable list of values used to label a program, project, or subproject. For example, an organization could classify a project's significance to the organization (high, medium, low) or project's complexity (complex, moderate, simple).	No out-of-the-box values defined for this list.
Market	Indicates the target market of the product to be enhanced or delivered as a result of the project or subproject.
Customer	Identifies the customer that is requesting the products to be enhanced or delivered as a result of the project or subproject.
Date Released	Identifies the date that this project was released within the workflow process.
Template	Indicates if the object is a template. The program manager can create a project or subproject and save it (with its events) as a template for reuse.
Published	Determines if the project or subproject is accessible to users other than the owner.	True or False.
Project (project-level security)	Associates this project or subproject to a security-level project. The project consists of entities that correlate groups of users with the data associated with a given project or subset of a project. Project-level security is defined by your system administrator. Projects or subprojects not associated with a security-level project are open for access by everyone.
Content Security	Determines if program content (deliverables, deliverable instances, changes, schedules, events, event criteria, risks, issues, and opportunities) is automatically added to the program's Teamcenter project security folder or is open for access by everyone. Your system administrator can configure the Program_Management_Security site preference to define Program Planning security.	True or False.
Prime Event Date	The date the target (Save As) project begins, which is used to determine the dates of the project events in the target project. All subsequent events in the target project reflect the same cadence as the events in the source project. Example: if the source project has three events on Sep 16, Sep 18, and Sep 28, 2018 and the Prime Event Date for the target project is Dec 1, 2018, the three target events become Dec 1, Dec 3, and Dec 13, 2018.
Template	Indicates the object is a template. The program manager can create a project and save it (with its program deliverables) as a template for reuse. When a project is created (using Save As) from a project template, it includes the project attachments, deliverable instances, and checklists (if Include Program Deliverables and Include Checklists are selected when creating the new project).	True or False.
