  • Hide the Status Bar: You can hide the status bar by unchecking the Status Bar option on the General tab of the Options dialog box.
  • Right Mouse Menu: Throughout Open Plan, you can display a context menu of commonly used commands by right-clicking an object or area of the screen. The contents of the context menu varies, depending on the location that you click.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: You can select commands in Open Plan using a combination of keystrokes corresponding to the menu and the name of the command.

  • Modeless Dialog Boxes: A number of dialog boxes in Open Plan are modeless; in other words, you can leave the dialog box open when performing other operations. This allows you to, for example, open the Activity Details dialog box from a spreadsheet view and view the detailed information for specific activities by clicking them in the view without having to close and re-open the dialog box each time.
