You can tailor the properties of your PPM client to the requirements of your project. You can use the client properties to specify the configuration options that PPM Customizing Toolkit offers you for your client; this is also known as tailoring.
When creating your client, CTK provides you with all options required for a default configuration. You can customize the selection of options and components you want CTK to display for configuring your client. CTK applies a default configuration to options and components you do not want to display for configuration.
Depending on the selected client properties, certain configuration options are not required for subsequent configuration of your client. For the sake of clarity, these will not be displayed.
Example
If you select Configure measure groups on the Measure and dimension editing tab, CTK provides you with the measure groups component in the Measures and dimensions module and you can set all the options for configuring the measure groups. If this option is not enabled CTK uses a default configuration.
Further information about which configuration options PPM Customizing Toolkit provides you with when you select a particular option is available under Help in the corresponding client properties dialog box.
Procedure
The Properties component of the Client module is displayed.
Your settings are applied.
Warning
After you have changed the client properties, items are displayed in red if they either already have values assigned to them, or if they are related to options you no longer want to display.
Change the corresponding values or options for these items to prevent a possible loss of data.
Move the mouse over the selected item to display more information in the form of a tooltip.
