Overview
• The P6 Team Member Mobile Application for iPhone offers the
following advantages:
• Quick, convenient, and easy mobile access.
• Focus only on tasks that matter the most.
• You are not required to install, log into a browser, or learn any
of the core P6 EPPM applications.
• You can send e-mail or share photos about a task.

26
Supported Devices
• Application will run on devices running:
• iOS 4.1 or higher (4.1 and 5.1). Includes: iPhone 3GS & 4,
iPod Touch 2nd generation and higher, or iPad.
• Not optimized for iPads (meaning if run in expanded mode,
will be pixilated).

27
Concepts
• Tasks: These are the individual work items that a contributor is
expected to complete.
• Project Filtering: The application only loads tasks from active
projects.
• Task Status: Tasks have the same status values as activities in
P6 - not started, in progress, and completed.
• Finish field: The finish field in the app will be the planned finish
when task is not started and the remaining early finish when task
is in progress and the actual finish when the task is completed.
• Marking Task Finished: Tasks marked Finished, with the
Finished button from either the Edit Task List view or from the
Individual Edit Task view will set an actual finish on the task.

28
Setup
• Install app from the Apple iTunes store. Search for Oracle P6

Settings Cont’d
• Settings for P6 Team Member can be found from the main
Settings icon for the device.
• Select the P6 Team Member icon from the Settings list.
• New Settings table that only TM apps look to.

38
Compatibility
• A team member user that is currently using the Mobile app v8.1
can upgrade to Mobile app v8.2 even if the company’s
deployment of Team Member Web Services is still v8.1.
• A team member user that is currently using the Mobile app v8.1
will not be able to login if the company’s deployment of Team
Member Web Services has been upgraded to v8.2.
• Starred Tasks - Prior to 8.2 release, star functionality was only
available in the mobile app and was saved locally to the mobile
device. In v8.2, we are saving the starred state to the P6
database so that users of mobile and tm web app can see the
same tasks starred.

39
Overview
E-Mail Statusing Updates
• This functionality allows the user to request a list of their Tasks
directly from P6, via e-mail, using the P6 Team Member E-mail
Statusing Service. This offers all the advantages of the P6 Team
Member Mobile App with the benefit of not being device-specific.
• The process involves four basic steps:
• The user requests a list of Tasks (i.e Resource Assignments)
• The system retrieves the list of Tasks and E-mails the list to
the user
• The user E-mails back the changes to be made
• The system updates the Tasks and sends a confirmation E-
mail

40
The Process:
Step 1: The user requests a list of Tasks (i.e Resource
Assignments).
• User sends e-mail to designated address and formats the
subject line as <Status> <Time Period> <Project>.
• Status and Time Period are usually combined for example
“Active in the next 10 days”.
• Specifying the Project is optional, only one project at a time can
be requested by either the Project ID or Project Name.
• If the subject line format is not correct and the body of the e-mail
is blank, a return e-mail will be sent with instructions for how to
use the update by e-mail functionality.

Step 1: Request Activity List

42
The system retrieves the list of Tasks and E-mails the list to the user.
Step 2: System Retrieves List

43
Step 3: The user E-mails back the changes to be made
• There are two ways to do this:
• Reply to the E-mail and edit the data in-line.
Or click the “Update this task” link for a task you wish to
update.
• Either of these options will generate a new E-mail.

44
Step 4: The system updates the Tasks and sends a confirmation
E-mail
