Bar Sets Dialog Box
The Bar Sets dialog box enables you to perform several functions.
These functions are as follows:
- If a barchart view is open, you can assign a bar set to the view by selecting it from the list and clicking either Select or OK. If more than one barchart view is open, Open Plan applies the bar set to the view that is active. Normally, this is the view that appears on top of the other views.
- You can create, copy, edit, or delete a bar set.
Note: A bar set is a group of activity or resource assignment bars that you can assign to a barchart view. For example, you might have a particular style of bar to show a critical activity and another bar to show an activity that is not critical.
