COLUMNS
1. How are COLUMNS stored?
FastTrack Schedule stores columns in three distinct ways. Columns for the Schedule View are stored either per row or per bar. Columns for the Resource View are stored per resource row.
- How do you change the LOOK of the schedule?
You change the look of your schedule by showing, hiding, and arranging columns. Groups of selected columns are called layouts.
- How do you delete a COLUMNS?
Every column in the Schedule View and Resource View is application-defined. Columns are hidden until you choose to insert them into a layout. No column can truly be deleted and the Column Map can help you keep track of which of the hundreds of available columns you have inserted and, possibly, renamed.
- What are the different TYPES of COLUMNS available?
a. Calculation
b. Cost
c. Date
d. Duration
e. Flag
f. Hyperlink
g. ID/Code
h. Image
i. Number
j. Text
k. Time
l. Work
- How do you SHOW or INSERT a hidden COLUMN?
a. Select the column heading TO THE LEFT of the intended position
b. INSERT MENU: COLUMN. In the dialog that opens, select the type of column you want.
- How do you select MULTIPLE COLUMNS TO INSERT?
Go thought the steps in card #5 and hold down the COMMAND KEY to select multiple columns.
- You can change the name of a column. How do you find out it a column has had its name changed?
TOOLS MENU: COLUMN MAP will tell you the default name and the custom name (if any) of ALL the columns.
- What is a LAYOUT?
Layouts are time savers. If you find yourself showing, hiding, and moving columns often, you should define a new layout that automatically produces that view of the Schedule View or Resource View for you. See Using Layouts for more information.
