Time Now

Field Description
Show Time Now

Select this option to display Time Now on the barchart as a solid line for each project. Use the color palette to specify the line color.

Line Thickness Use this field to enter a number to specify the thickness of the Time Now line measured in pixels. Because pixel size is dependent on monitor resolution, the apparent width of the Time Now line that is displayed on your monitor depends on your resolution settings.
Label Use this field to specify the text that Open Plan displays next to the Time Now line. In addition to regular text, you can also enter a calculated field, for example, 'Time Now: ' + STATDATE displays a Time Now label plus the time now date. If you do not want any label to display, enter a pair of double quotes.
