This is the right approach - we created an EPS-branch "Archive" with special access rights. Change the project status to "What-if".

In addition check the entry under Edit --> User Preferences --> Resource Analysis. It’s self explaining and should be according to your needs.

OK, I think I found a way. I created a new branch in the EPS structure for Project Copies, and will locate all my copies in there.

Now the problem is...hmmm...the system adds up the data(activites & budget) from my original project + copies. Now I understand why the copies were showing a zero before summarizing.



Where should I locate the copies in order not to affect the EPS info?

It worked. Thank you guys. Now the data shows on all projects (original + copies).

Tools --> Summarize --> Open Projects (or All Projects if not open)

The only thing I can think of is to open and summarise the copied project then the info should show up in the projects view

Hi Cristina,



Sorry, it’s not so clear can you explain a little bit in detail.
