Field Description
Range of Data

If you click this option, Open Plan bases the date range of the printed report on the range of data in the barchart, resource histogram, or risk histogram view. The data that is included in the printed report can include a larger date range than that currently displayed in the view.

Current Display

If you click this option, Open Plan bases the date range of the printed report on what is currently displayed in the barchart, resource histogram, or risk histogram view. If you resize the window in which the view is displayed, Open Plan recalculates the date range to print only the data that is actually displayed.

Time Now

If you click this option, Open Plan enables the following options and bases the date range of the printed report on your settings relative to Time Now:

  • Start printing at offset: Using these fields, you can specify the starting date on the printed report as a specified number of hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years before or after the Time Now date. (Entering a negative number in this field tells Open Plan to start the report before the Time Now date, while entering a positive number tells Open Plan to start the report after that date.)
  • Finish (offset from start): Using these fields, you can specify the last date on the printed report as a specified number of hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years after the start date of the printed report.
  • Finish at Project Finish: If you select this option, Open Plan uses the last date in the project as the last date in the printed report.

These options are not available when you are printing data from the Project Analysis view.

Project Start

If you click this option, Open Plan enables the following options and bases the date range of the printed report on your settings relative to the date the project started:

  • Start printing at offset: Using these fields, you can specify the starting date on the printed report as a specified number of hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years before or after the project's start date. (Entering a negative number in this field tells Open Plan to start the report before project's start date, while entering a positive number tells Open Plan to start the report after that date.)
  • Finish (offset from start): Using these fields, you can specify the last date on the printed report as a specified number of hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years after the start date of the printed report.
  • Finish at Project Finish: If you select this option, Open Plan uses the last date in the project as the last date in the printed report.

This option is not available when you are printing data from the Project Analysis view.
