Customizing a Network View

In Open Plan, you can use the Network Preferences dialog box to customize a network view in many ways.

For example, you can define the following aspects of the network view:

  • How relationship information is displayed
  • Whether or not the view should display where page breaks occur in a printed report
  • Whether or not controlling relationships should be highlighted
  • If, and where, a legend should be printed in a report
  • The size and placement of activity boxes in the view
  • Annotations that can be attached to either the view or to a specific activity

You can also control the following attributes of the activity boxes:

  • The appearance of the activity boxes based on criteria that you define
  • The data fields displayed in the activity boxes

Customize the Appearance of the Activity Boxes

The Network Preferences dialog box's Box Attributes tab controls the appearance of the activity boxes based on criteria that you define. In this way, you can use attributes such as box styles or colors to represent activity data.

Customize the Display of Data Fields within an Activity Box

You can use the Network Preferences dialog box's Box Layout tab to control both the selection and the display of data fields within an activity box.

Customize How Open Plan Displays the Relationships in a Network View

You can use the Network Preferences dialog box's Relationships tab to specify how Open Plan displays the relationships for a network view.

Specify the Conditions Under Which the Properties of the Activity Boxes Will Change

With the Conditional Formatting dialog box, you can override the default settings by specifying the conditions under which the properties of the activity boxes will change. For example, you may want an activity box that exceeds a particular criterion or filter to appear in bold red text, show a symbol, or display against a different background.
