Displaying Multiple Subprojects

Displaying expanded subprojects from multiple hierarchical levels usually requires the use of commands.

These commands are as follows:

  • Go To Subproject: Drill down to the next level of the project. The level from which you drilled down is no longer displayed in the view.
  • Expand: Maintain the current level of the view, but display the children of the selected activity as an expanded subproject.
Attention: For more information about displaying subprojects, see How a Network View Displays a Hierarchy.

To understand how you might use these commands to expand subprojects from different levels, assume that you want to represent the following project in a single network view:

Activity Description
1 Project
1.1 Subproject 1
1.1.1 Detail activity 1
1.1.2 Detail activity 2
1.2 Subproject 2

When you first display this project in a network view, only the top level activity appears:

By selecting this activity and clicking Expand, you can display the following:

To display the detail activities in the project, you must first drill down a level and expand Subproject 1:

After you have displayed the lowest level of detail in the project, click the Go To Top Level command to display all of the expanded subprojects in the same view:
