Only the selected progress types on this dialog box display in the drop-down list for the Progress Type column of a Spreadsheet view as well as in the Calculate drop-down list on the Progress Calculations dialog box. If you do not select any progress types, the Calculate field is disabled.

When more than one users (for example, User 1 and User 2) open a project in Shared mode and one of them (User 1) updates the Progress tab, Open Plan allows all users who are working on the project simultaneously to see the latest selected options. The updated options, however, only display when User 2 clicks the Refresh button.
