Usage

Use this window to view information related to the entire project structure. The project must have been selected or queried first before the graphical display and tab container are shown.

The structure for the selected project is presented graphically in a box in the left-hand part of the window, where it remains until either a new project is chosen or the Project combo box is cleared. It is possible to navigate between all subprojects and activities in the graphical project structure, and to resize the graphical display by dragging on the splitter to left or right.

To move items in the graphical display, the drag and drop method can be used, or simply cut and paste.

The top node (root) is also called the project node. When moving items, keep in mind that:

The Tab Container on the left-hand part of the Project Navigator window contains the tabs necessary to insert or modify or display data related to the items in the graphical display. As the user selects different type of items in the graphical display, different tabs are shown. The tabs shown are selected based on the following three types of items; Project (root node), Sub Project, Activity.

Selected Item Type Tabs enabled for the selected node type
Project (Root Node) Gantt, Sub Project, Project Access, Resource, Analysis, Summary, History, Planning, Project Documents
Sub Project Gantt, Sub Project, Project Access, Activity List, Activity, Resource, MCPR, Tasks, Analysis, Summary, History, Planning, Project Documents
