Projects and cost groups that are linked to budget categories in Budgets TSI are displayed in the project search page. For more information see Budget categories.
After selecting a project, the Financial Console Details page is displayed. It contains an overview table with capital projects on the horizontal axis and cost groups on the vertical axis.
