Primavera Tip: Bring Your External Website Into Primavera Web

When customizing a portlet on a dashboard in the Primavera Web Access program, in order to bring up an external website or URL, one tip needs to be known in case you must troubleshoot or if you are experiencing problems with the page loading.

For example: Your personal or project workspace dashboard has a link to the weather or a link to your company website.  If the page delays in loading or has difficulty and freezes, you will need to know this tip.

If Primavera or other dashboards are working, then likely the external website is having difficulty loading, not that Primavera is having trouble.

DO NOT exit the web browser—you will remain logged in to the Primavera tool and not be allowed to log in for 30 minutes or until your admin changes your password.

Instead, type “1=TRUE” at the end of your URL in the URL field of the site and hit return.

Example: http://servername:8080/myprimavera/login_cmt/1=true

This restarts the page in “safe mode” and ignores external websites temporarily.  Next time you logon and the external website is working, you should not experience the problem.  Now you are logged on without the use of that external site.  You can do all other work in Primavera until the external site is working again.
