Change the Scale for the Calendar Period Columns in Project Planning Grids

On the Plan form In the Projects hub, or in Project View in Resource Management, you can view and enter planned hours and amounts by day, week, or month.

The available Scale options vary, depending on where you launch the dialog box. On the Schedule tab of the Plan form, you can also use CTRL + Mouse Wheel to change the scale of the Gantt chart.

To change the scale for the calendar period columns in the Projects hub or in Project View:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Hubs > Projects > Plan.
  2. On the Plan form, click next to the Scale option above the planning grid.
  3. On the Change Scale dialog box, set Scale to one of the following:
    • Days & Months: Display plan data by day for one or two months, with the rest of the data displayed by month. This option is not available on the Schedule tab of the Plan form. If you select this option, you also specify the month or months for which you want to display plan data by day.
      • In Use Day Scale Starting, select the month in which you want to begin displaying plan data by day.
      • In Use Day Scale For, indicate if you want to display one or two months of plan data by day.
    • Days: Display all plan data by day. This option is only available on the Schedule tab of the Plan form.
    • Weeks: Display all plan data by week.
    • Months: Display all plan data by month.
    • Quarters: Display all plan data by quarter. This option is only available on the Schedule tab of the Plan form.

  4. Click Change.

    The calendar period column headings change to reflect your selection, and any existing hours or amounts in those columns are recalculated based on the new scale.
