👋 Your first day with Nodes & Links!
Congratulations! You just made your first step to making your life easier!
Hi there! If you are reading this, it means that you just got invited into the platform!
This article will guide you through your first day with Nodes & Links and how to get started!
We use the following terms to navigate data within the platform:
- Project: A predetermined set of schedules that constitute a self-contained object. This object is called ‘project’. A project on the Nodes & Links platform usually reflects one real-world project, but there are exceptions where one project on Nodes & Links can be composed of more than one real-world project.
- Schedule: A single Oracle Primavera P6 file (XER)
Step 1: Accept the invitation in your email
Before you get on the platform you need to create an account. You should see an email with an invitation that looks like this:
Step 2: Create a new project and upload your baseline
All you need is internet access, a Primavera P6 schedule, and a Chrome browser and you are good to go!
Step 3: Upload an update for your project
There are several ways of uploading a new schedule to an existing project.
We recommend doing so from the Home Screen - simply go to the top left corner and click on the ‘+’ icon. Once you are there, follow the on screen instructions and you are good to go!
Step 4: Invite a colleague
You can easily add users or teams to an existing project. Simply go to the bottom left corner and click on the ‘Project Members’ button. You will then be redirected to a screen where you can see all the teams and individual users added to the project. To add a team or an individual user to this specific project, simply use the add button on the top left of the screen. A pop-up window will appear where you can choose to add individual users or switch over to teams. Please keep in mind that a user should be first invited to N&L before being added to a project.
You are ready to go!
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any further queries!
