Template Management

Schedule Management: (Graphical View)

The Schedule Management: Graphical View shows each task in a template for a task predecessor job schedule, the task type (in parenthesis next to the task name), each task’s stage, ID, predecessors, start/end dates, sequence and a graphical view of the length of each task. You have three views: Advanced, Stage and Task (or Graphical). The Advanced View lets you modify the predecessors, sequence, lead time, duration and offset for each task. The Stage View just shows the Start and End Dates for each stage if the job using this template were to start today. The Task (or Graphical) View is where you set your predecessor tasks and the sequence of each task.

The navigation pane shows the duration of a job using this template, the number of construction days and the end date of a job using this template (if the job started today). The red graph represents critical path items, and the blue graph represents non-critical path items.

The Task Type designation is in parenthesis, next to each task name link. To see a legend of all task types, scroll down to the bottom of your screen.
