Activities Page

Overview

Use this page as your central project management tool for all project activities and their associated details. This includes all WBS elements, activities, steps, issues, notebooks, resource assignments, risks, and other details. The Activities page can display schedules for a single project or group of projects you choose. Tabbed navigation, inline editing, and graphical drag and drop features help you quickly update project activities and run important operations including Schedule, Apply Actuals, and Level Resources.

Initially, this page displays a table with a Gantt chart, but you can customize this presentation of live project data, creating and saving multiple activity views, or data layouts, to meet your needs. The convenient Activity View list enables you to quickly switch between views, and you can manage multiple detail windows in tabs that you can show, hide, and reposition.

Screen Elements

The Activity View toolbar, also located on the Activities page, is a fixed toolbar used to select activity views, and to show or hide alternative formats such as the Activity Network or the Gantt chart. See Activities Toolbar.
