You can group by project code in the Open Project dialog box and in the Projects window by right-clicking anywhere in the dialog box or view, choosing Group and Sort By, then selecting the project code name. All predefined project codes are available in the Group and Sort By menu. View Project Codes as columns in the Activities and WBS column views. The project code value associated with the currently open projects appears in the row for each activity. In Primavera's Web application, you can use project codes and values to route new project requests for review and approval.
To change the order in which project codes are listed, select the project code you want to move in the Project Code Definitions dialog box, then click Shift Up or Shift Down.

To add weight to a project code 1. From the Enterprise menu, choose Project Codes. 2. Select the project code you want to add a weight to, then click Modify. 3. In the Project Code Definitions dialog box, click the Display Options bar. 4. Select Columns, then choose Weight. 5. In the Weight column, specify a numerical value to represent the ranking of this project code when it is used to calculate project scores. To add weight to a project code value 1. In the Project Codes dialog box, click the Display Options bar. 2. Select Columns, then choose Weight. 3. In the Weight column, specify a numerical value to represent the ranking of this project code value when it is used to calculate project scores.

To change a code value assignment, double-click the code value you want to change and select a new code value. To remove a project code, select the code and value you want to remove in the Codes tab, then click Remove. You can view the assigned project codes in a column in the Activities and WBS windows.
If you change a project code, your changes apply to all project assignments.

values of any project code that will be used for routing. As a simplified example, suppose new project requests should be first reviewed at a remote office, then forwarded to a central office. In Primavera's Web application, for project request routing, a project code Location with values of Remote and Central could be used, provided each of these project code values has a user assigned who can review the request. To associate a user with a project code value 1. Choose Enterprise, Project Codes. 2. Click the Display Options bar, select Columns, then choose Workflow Recipient. 3. Select the project code and project code value for which you want to assign a user. 4. In the Workflow Recipient column, click the browse button. Select the user, then click Assign.
Tips
Only licensed users of Primavera's Web application or Timesheets module are listed in the Select User dialog box. A project code value can be associated with one user.
Project code and code value weights are set up in the Project Management module, typically by a project controls or system administrator. Project code and code values used to calculate score can be assigned either in the Project Management module or in Primavera's Web application.
For example, suppose you want to evaluate a portfolio of projects based on three criteria: projected sales in a target market, risk, and strength of competition. You would create three project codes to

represent these evaluation criteria. Each of these criteria has a certain level of importance in your decision making, which you can represent using a numerical scale, or weight, as a way of ranking them. For example, on a 1 to 10 scale, if projected sales is more important than perceived risk, you might weight it at 10 and weight risk at 7. In turn, each of these criteria (project codes) can be represented by varying attributes and rankings. Projected sales might have three possible attributes, such as low, moderate, and high potential. You would create three project code values to represent these attributes and assign each code value a weight that represents its rank in evaluating a project. The table below shows an example of how project codes, code values, and weights can be mapped to project evaluation criteria.

High potential 5 If the Projected Sales project code is assigned to Project A with a project code value of High Potential, the non-normalized score for Project A = 50. If the Projected Sales project code is assigned to Project A with a project code value of Low Potential, the non-normalized score for Project A = 10.
Project score is calculated in three steps 1. Determine the maximum possible project score. Calculated as Sum(Project Code weight * maximum Project Code Value weight) For example, Project A has 3 project codes assigned, each code has a weight of 2. The maximum project code value weight for these project codes is 3, 5, and 6, respectively. Maximum project score = 28 (2*3) + (2 *5) + (2*6) 2. Calculate the score for the project. Sum(Project Code weight * weight of the assigned Project Code value) The Project Code value weights assigned to Project A are 3, 5, and 3.

Score for Project A = 22 (2*3) + (2*5) + (2*3) 3. Normalize the project score, based on the maximum possible project score. Calculated as (Project score before normalizing/maximum possible project score) * 100 Normalized Project A score = 79 (22/28) * 100
