In the Utilization view you can see time estimates for each resource, broken down by tasks as defined in the Activities view. Change the names of the default resources to match who is in that role, and set the rates for that resource (rental costs for equipment, wages for individuals, etc.) appropriately. Aside from the Net Plan view, each view allows you to fully edit the project just by double-clicking on the field. Each of these views gives you a different overview of the project. The main project window gives you four views: Activities, Net Plan, Resources, and Utilization. Depending on where you are in the project, not all of these phases may be applicable. After this you can tailor the template to suit your needs and define things like start and end dates, available working times, and phases (such as Pre-Production and Production). You can also create a new empty project if none of the templates are to your liking or fill your needs. When creating a new project, you can select from some pre-defined templates, such as Client-Website or Product Design.
Select the appropriate server and a list of available Projects can be seen select the remote document and click Open. You can specify a server name or, if the server is on the local network, it will show up in the Servers list automatically. With Merlin open, select File | Remote Open from the menu bar. Opening remote documents in Merlin is just as easy as opening local documents. You can share with just Merlin, and the optional sharing licenses, but that requires that Merlin itself is running and the project to be shared is loading Merlin Server does not have the requirement of having projects open to be shared. Running as a daemon and configured via a simple System Preferences preference pane, you only need to ensure that the computer running the server is available and Merlin Server takes care of the rest. Merlin Server has the ability to do web sharing for up to 10 concurrent web connections, and also can share projects for up to 10 iPhones or iPads. Merlin Server, in this regard, is quite valuable as it does not require a copy of Merlin itself to be running, and can be hosted on a central server. While a single-license of Merlin will work great for a small business or home user, for collaborative installations there is nothing that provides the ease-of-use that Merlin does, or the extensible sharing options that are available - if you can afford it.
The answer depends on how much you need, or use, project management. If you want the additional functionality that separate modules provide, you may also be looking at $130USD for the web sharing module license, $49USD for the iPhone/iPad-sharing license, and a whopping $995USD for the Merlin Server component (although Merlin Server does come with licenses for iPhone and web sharing).
#MERLIN FOR MAC LICENSE#
A single-user license for Merlin will set you back $199USD. Merlin is a full-featured, highly customizable, and most definitely enterprise-ready, project management solution.Īs a result, Merlin also comes with an enterprise-ready price tag. When it comes to project management on the Mac, one application has consistently stood head and shoulders above the competition: ProjectWizards' Merlin.
