| A Handy Monthly
Milestone Summary and More |
| |
| The calendar view, in
Milestones Professional and Simplicity, can be used to display your
important milestones in a handy calendar format. |
| |
| Here's a schedule of action
items for the Public Works Departments shown in the Gantt View: |
Here's the same schedule shown in
the Calendar View:
| The calendar view is perfect
if you have a need to display a month-by-month view of just one month's
worth of milestones. |
| |
| To maximize the usefulness of
the calendar view: |
|
|
|
Use symbol text to label each
milestone symbol. Since milestones for several tasks may appear on one day
it is important that you include a portion or all of the task name in the
symbol text. |
|
|
If your schedule is very dense,
consider displaying a calendar for a selected task. To do this, just select
a task before clicking Calendar View on the View menu. |
|
|
To display only certain
milestones from your schedule, consider including them in the summary bar
and displaying a calendar for the summary bar only. (Milestones Professional
Only) |
| |
|
Display a calendar for selected tasks |
| |
| It's
possible to select just a few tasks to display on the calendar. Here's
an example of a schedule with two tasks selected, followed by the
resulting calendar: |

for the calendar view is to display a summary of deadlines for a project.

Here's what the
calendar for the above schedule looks like:
To display a calendar for
one summary bar:
1 |
Be sure that each
lower level symbol that you would like displayed on the calendar is

double-click the symbol and choose the "Include this symbol on summary bar"
option on the Size/Color tab. |
|

Add symbol text to
each symbol you plan to display on the calendar. This text will be
displayed along with the symbol on the calendar. |
