Project location
The emirate decides which authorities can even apply — pick the project's location first, and every step after filters itself automatically.
What type of project is this?
This narrows the requirement list further — a villa doesn't need the same NOCs as a master plan.
Which authorities does this project fall under?
Filtered to —. First pick the one authority that issues the final building permit, then add every common service authority that also applies.
Building-permitting authority

pick as many as applyAdded developers are recorded on the tracker and travel with the approval request. They pull in no NOCs on their own yet — their requirement lists still need to be built in the Authorities Hub.
Services
Situational NOCs that only apply depending on the project — near an airport, discharges to stormwater or sewer networks, district cooling, and similar. Each item below is its own NOC — pick individually, skip anything that doesn't apply.
Project details
All fields required — used to label the generated tracker and set the timeline's start date.

Schedule
How the schedule is built. Dates are calculated forward from your start date in calendar days, the way the authorities and your own trackers count them: an activity starts as soon as every predecessor allows it. The backward pass then gives total float, and anything with zero float is drawn in red as the critical path. Default links chain each authority's NOCs Finish→Start behind the AOR appointment — that is a starting point, not gospel, so relink anything that actually runs in parallel.
Durations marked "~ (est.)" weren't stated in the Authorities Hub source — confirm them with the authority, or drag the bar's edge to set the real figure (which clears the estimate flag). Dragging a bar's middle pins its start as a Start On or After constraint, shown with a dashed edge; clear it from the relationship panel. Edits only change this project's tracker copy — they never touch the reference durations in the Authorities Hub.
Primavera P6 export comes in two flavours. .xer is P6’s own format and imports through File → Import → Primavera XER. P6 XML (MSPDI) writes MSPDI XML with a WBS level per authority, all four relationship types with lag, activity constraints, total float and the critical flag, plus a Mon–Fri 8-hour calendar. Import it through File → Import → Microsoft Project XML and the network comes across with the links intact.
