Disassociating a Child Project from a Parent Project

Use these steps to disassociate a child project from its parent project. Once you disassociate the child project, it is removed from the parent project’s hierarchy.

For a description of the fields available on the Project Hierarchy tab used to perform this procedure, see Edit Project: Project Hierarchy Tab.

Note:Disassociating a child project simply means that project is no longer identified as a child of the current project. This procedure does not delete or in any way change the project that you disassociate.

To disassociate a child project from a parent project, do the following:

1. As Project Administrator, navigate to the Summary tab of the project for which you are disassociating one or more child projects. (For navigation instructions, see Opening the Project Summary Tab.)
2. From the Manage Project menu, select Edit Project. The Edit Project window opens.
3. Select the Project Hierarchy tab.
4. In the list of child projects on the tab, click X in the Actions column for the child project you want to disassociate from the parent project. A message box appears, prompting you to confirm the disassociation.

Once you confirm to disassociate the project, child project is removed from the hierarchy. The links associated with this parent-child relationship are also removed from the Summary tabs for the parent project and the project that was disassociated. The links are also removed from Inventory view.

5. Repeat the previous step for each child project you want to disassociate from the current project.
6. Click Save.
