Displaying IDs and/or Descriptions

To change the GDD options, click Tools » Options. MPM displays the GDD Options window. The following Graphic Drill Down options are available on the GDD Options Window:

Field	Option	Description
Legends and Labels	ID Only	The graph displays only the element ID (identification) of the WBS, Element of Cost, or Resource elements. This is useful when you are graphing elements with long descriptions.
	Description Only	The graph displays only the description of the WBS, Element of Cost, or Resource elements.
	ID and Description	The graph displays both the element ID and the description of the WBS, Element of Cost, or Resource elements.
Graph Draw	Automatic	GDD automatically re-draws the graph every time any data source, display type, data type, unit, period or graph type item is changed.
	Manual	GDD does not automatically re-draw the graph every time a graph element is changed. This is useful when you need to set several parameters before viewing the final graph. Use the Draw Graph Now $image\winm0194_wmf.gif$ button when you want the system to re-draw the graph.
2D Line Graph Symbols	On or Off	Adds symbols on 2D Line Graphs to differentiate the data types. See Drilling Down Bar or Line Graphs.
