About the Activity Table

The Activity Table presents all WBS and activity information for the currently open projects in a familiar table format. You can customize Activity Table columns, filters, grouping, sorting, fonts, and colors.

For example, you might change the information displayed in columns to show scheduling data, resource and cost data, user-defined fields, or any data items you select, including calculated data. You can also format specific information to call attention to it by using the filter, group and sort, and other table display features.

Use the Activity Table to:

  • Create a list of activities and activity information quickly when you don't need to see the information graphically over time as in a Gantt chart.
  • Group activities that share a common attribute into hierarchies. For example, focus on activities by resource, responsibility, or date. Once you organize activities into groups, you can summarize or "roll up" project data to simplify their presentation.
  • Sort activities to arrange them in an order you specify. For example, to view activities chronologically, you might sort them by a date field.
