Project Planning Schedule Options Tab

Use the Options tab to indicate if you want to include Gantt charts for plans, and limit the tasks and resources included.

Field Description
Maximum Task Level Select the number of planning levels to include. Note that if both Resource Planning and Accounting are activated, you can select 1 to 3 WBS levels. If Resource Planning is activated but the Accounting module is not activated, you can select up to 17 planning levels. (Note that if the maximum plan level selected is greater than the levels a project has, this report will display only those levels down to the project's lowest level. For example, if you choose to see 17 levels but the project only has 5, the report will list all the levels down to level 5 only for the project, not through level 17.)
Decimal Setting Select the number of decimal digits to display for amounts.

If you select the Labor option at the top of the Schedule group box, select one of the following:

  • No Decimal: The report displays numbers without decimal digits.
  • 1 Digit: The report displays numbers with one digit to the right of the decimal point.

  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Biweekly: A two-week period.

Duration Select the number of reporting periods to display. The related Scale option determines the type of period. For example, if the scale is monthly and you enter 6 here, the report displays data for six monthly periods.

Rollup Options

Field Description
Project Number Rollup Options Use this option to summarize information for projects that use a standard numbering system. For example, if the first five characters of your project number represent a master contract, you can summarize (roll up) information for all projects that have a common master contract number. The Project Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your project numbers. For example, if you use a 10-digit project number, the slider box displays 1234567890. A project number can also include up to two delimiters (for example, 12-345.67890).
  • A phase total is the total of all occurrences of that phase across the base project.
  • A task total is the total of all occurrences of that task across the base project.

To roll up project numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.
