Opening Projects

To open a project :

1. Select the project in one of the Project views.
2. Click the Projects tab, and in the Projects group click Open Project. The project will open in the Schedule > Project Views.

You can open summary projects or subprojects as long as you have permissions to do so. However, if you open a summary project, you cannot add a project schedule or resources. You may only manage risks associated with the summary project.

If you open a placeholder project, it will not have any tasks or resources associated with it. Once you add at least one task, resource or risk, it will become an active project. Each active project is represented by a Gantt bar in the Portfolio Gantt view. A project can contain qualititative risks.
