Project Links (Sites) Setup

The Project Links section is the second step in project creation where you define the physical sites or links that make up the project.

After completing the Project Information step:

  1. The Project Links tab becomes active (highlighted in the navigation)
  2. You'll see the Project Links interface with an empty state
  3. The system displays "No links added" with a prompt to get started

Project Links Empty State

To add links to your project:

  1. Click the Add Link button in the top right corner
  2. The "Add Link to Project" dialog will open
  3. You'll see a searchable list of available links in the system. These Links will have to be set prior under the Links module under the Settings section of the Project Management module.

Add Link Dialog

The Add Link dialog provides:

Search Functionality:

  • Use the search bar to find links by name
  • Search filters help locate specific links quickly

Available Links Display: Each link shows:

  • Link Name - The identifier for the connection
  • Route Information - Start and end points (e.g., "Communication House → Yums Kiwatule")
  • Infrastructure Details - Number of poles required
  • Client Information - Associated client company
  • Revenue Breakdown - NRC (Non-Recurring Cost) and MRC (Monthly Recurring Cost)

To add a link to your project:

  1. Review the link details including route, client, and revenue information
  2. Click the Select button next to the desired link
  3. The button will change to Selected to confirm your choice

Select Link

Once you select a link, you'll need to define its project timeline:

Timeline Configuration:

  • Start Date - When work on this link will begin
  • End Date - Expected completion date for this link
  • Use the date pickers to select appropriate dates

Timeline Considerations:

  • Each link can have its own timeline within the overall project
  • Consider dependencies between links when setting dates

Saving the Link:

  1. Set both start and end dates
  2. Click Save Link to add it to your project
  3. The dialog will close and return you to the project links overview

After adding links, you'll see them listed in the Project Links section:

Added Links Overview

Link Information Display:

  • Link Details - Name and route information
  • Client - Associated client company
  • Revenue - NRC and MRC breakdown for financial planning
  • Timeline - Start and end dates for project scheduling

When you're satisfied with your link configuration:

Options Available:

  • Add Link - Continue adding more links to the project
  • Save as Draft - Save your progress without proceeding
  • Continue - Move to the next step (Project BOQ)

Complete Links Confirmation

Completion Confirmation: The system will ask if you're done adding links:

  • "No, Add More Links" - Continue adding additional links
  • "Yes, Continue" - Proceed to the BOQ (Bill of Quantities) step

Next Steps​

After completing the Project Links setup:

  • The Project BOQ tab becomes available
  • You can proceed to define material requirements for each link
  • Timeline information feeds into overall project scheduling

Draft Projects:

  • Links can be modified while the project is in draft status or has not been submitted for approval yet
  • Use "Save as Draft" to preserve changes without completing the whole project creation process
