Add a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart

1. In the Activities window, click the Layout Options bar and choose Attachments, Curtain, Add Curtain.
2. Mark the 'Display curtain attachment' checkbox.
3. Click to select the Start and Finish Dates.
4. Select the color to use for the curtain.
5. Select the fill pattern for the curtain date range.
6. Click OK.

Tip

When you add curtains, they are added to the open layout, not the open project. If you save the open layout after adding a curtain attachment, the attachment is saved as part of the layout. The curtain attachment is then displayed whenever you view the layout, unless you subsequently choose to delete or hide the curtain attachment.

Note

• The data range defaults to the longest date interval. For example, if the date interval is Month/Week, the default range will be one month.
• You can manually shift the entire curtain or change the start and finish dates of the curtain display. Move the mouse pointer over the curtain and click and drag the curtain to the new dates.
• Click Cancel to close the dialog box without saving any changes.
