The Template Calendar View allows users to print out a copy of a template displaying the tasks as they would fall on a calendar according to the logic in the template. This allows for better visualization of the template and allow for easier edits during template building. This tool can be used both in template creation and in template reviews.

The calendar is laid out in a seven days per week format, showing all days for a single month at a time. Tasks are listed in cells underneath the appropriate date according to the start date and logic built into the template. Tasks are listed within a cell in order by task sequence number. Users can move to the Next and Previous months to view the entire schedule in a calendar format. The user can print the template calendar, but only the current view will print. To print the entire template calendar, the user must print each successive month that displays the template tasks.

Template Tasks

The Template Calendar View displays each task on the calendar based on its sequence and duration. The task name is displayed, with the task type and duration in parentheses.

In the example above, Foundation T/K (P-3) represents the foundation task of PO type with a 3 day duration. Since the task spans multiple days, the task is listed on each day of its duration and the duration is decreased each day to indicate how many days are remaining.
