Structure

There are two main structures the plan can be viewed by; Packages and Folders. The Folder assigned to a Task has no relation to the Package it may also be grouped in.

Packages

All users can create Packages to group their own tasks into.

Properties

Property	Description
Name	Descriptive name given to the Package
Start	Start date of the first Task within the Package
End	End date of the last Task within the Package
Owner	User that is accountable for the Package
Assigned to	User(s) that have been assigned to all Tasks inside the Package
Notes	Additional text notes that can be attached the Package
Comments	Thread of communications on the Package
Documents	Documents that have been uploaded and attached to the Package
Package Tag Colour	User-selected colour to represent the Package

Package Codes

Each Package is automatically assigned a unique code that follows this logic:

X-00N (X = First letter of Project name) (N = Number of Packages created)

Default Packages

When a brand new Project is created, three default public Packages will be generated:

Level 1 Structure - X-001

Level 2 Structure - X-002

Level 2 Electrical - X-003

Deactivated and Deleted Packages

Deactivated Packages will no longer be available to add tasks into. However, deactivated Packages will still group all tasks assigned to it before it was deactivated.

If a deactivated Package is permanently deleted, any remaining tasks will be automatically ejected from the Package and placed into the ‘Without Package’ group.

Folders

Folders & Subfolders can be used to group all tasks under a single, controlled structure.

Folders can be created manually inside Aphex, imported from CSV, or from connecting to the Master Schedule (P6/MS Project/Asta)

Codes

Each Folder has a unique code.

If a duplicate code is attempted to be created, the code will autocorrect to <value>[duplicate]until it is edited back to a unique code.

The colours for each new Folder are randomly generated and are editable.

Protected State

Folders will have one three states:

State	Edit Name & Code	Move	Delete	Add Subfolder
Default	✓	✓	✓	✓
Semi-Protected	-	-	-	✓
Protected	-	-	-	-

Deleted Folders

Deleted Folders are automatically removed from the Gantt.

Folders that contain Tasks can not be deleted.

Opting to delete the entire Folder branch will delete the selected code, and all Folders nested underneath.
