The Activities toolbar controls the features and functions available on the page for all four views: the activity table, the Gantt chart, the activity network diagram, and the activity calendar view.
The Activities toolbar is displayed below the Projects section toolbar (if displayed).
You can show or hide sections of the Activities toolbar on the Activities page, which you can view by selecting Projects > Activities.
To customize the Activities toolbar, right-click anywhere on the toolbar, then select the toolbar section you want to show or hide. A checkmark beside a section indicates that the section is currently displayed. After you choose a section to show or hide, the context menu closes automatically. You must repeat this process for each toolbar section you want to show or hide.
