Configuring Projects

Create or open the text file to contain customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.

To configure alert reminder options, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxProgramCentral.ProjectDoNotSendReminder=
```
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

By default, the Send Reminder list contains 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days before the due date, on the due date, do not send reminder, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days after the due date. To change the values, change the number to the right of the property key. For example, if you want to provide an option for sending a reminder 10 days before the due date, change the -5 to -10 to the right of emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.5DaysBefore.

Note: This number must be equal to the emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.DoNotSendReminder value.

To change the values in the Recurrence Interval list, follow these steps:

Add or edit these lines in the file used to import properties into a page object:

# Turn off sending notification at run-time
emxProgramCentral.ProjectDoNotSendReminder=99
# Send Reminder
# value pair: text displayed and its corresponding integer value
# The value following "Do not send reminder" should match with emxProgramCentral.ProjectDoNotSendReminder's
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder =   emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.5DaysBefore, -5,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.4DaysBefore, -4,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.3DaysBefore, -3,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.2DaysBefore, -2,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.1DayBefore,  -1,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.OnDueDate, 0,     \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.DoNotSendReminder, 99, \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.1DayAfter,  1,    \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.2DaysAfter, 2,    \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.3DaysAfter, 3,    \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.4DaysAfter, 4,    \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSendReminder.5DaysAfter, 5
# Recurrence Interval
#  value pair: text displayed and its corresponding integer value
emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval =  emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval.DoNotSendAdditionalReminders, 0, \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval.EachDay, 1, \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval.Every2ndDay, 2,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval.Every3rdDay, 3,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval.Every4thDay, 4,  \
emxProgramCentral.ProjectRecurrenceInterval.Every5thDay, 5

Set the values for these properties depending on your business requirements.

To specify the number of projects to be reflected in the dashboard charts, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxProgramCentral.ProjectSummary.ChartsToDisplay=20
```
The project count reflected in the dashboard chart of Pending Tasks, Pending Deliverables, and Pending Issues is based on the value of this property. If the task count in the Project Summary report is not reflected properly in the dashboard chart counts, you may need to increase the project count in this property.
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements.

To add an additional currency type when creating a resource request:

Note: You only need to update this property if you want a currenct other than USD, JPY, EUR, GBP or CNY.

Add or edit this line used to specify the additional resource currency:
```
emxProgramCentral.CurrencyCode
```
For example, for the preferred currency "AED-UAE Dirham-UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (THE)," the entry in the emxProgramCentral.properties file would be:
```
 emxProgramCentral.CurrencyCode.ISO4217.AED-UAE_Dirham-UNITED_ARAB_EMIRATES_(THE)=AED
```
Note: While adding the entry, you should replace spaces by the underscore character (_).
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements.

When finished updating the text file with all properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the emxProgramCentral.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
