Define format

You can define the bar labelling and colour for activities and subprojects at your convenience.

In order to define the format, do as follows:

1. Activate the tab Format in the window Project properties.

   

   You can use the field Bar labelling to define the bar labelling of activities and subprojects.

2. Select the variables you want to integrate into the labelling from the list Fields.
3. The field Type shows which of the objects - activities or subprojects - will be labelled.
4. The field Position shows the position of the labelling.
5. The field Content shows the content of the labelling. Depending on the preferred position, place the cursor in the corresponding content field.
6. Enter either the labelling or select a predefined field from the drop down list Fields and press the button >.

   You can use the field Bar colour resource-specific to define the resource-specific colour an activity or subproject is going to take on when allocating a resource.

7. If, for instance, you allocate resources to an activity that have been defined in different colours, the activity is shown in the colour of the resource that maintains a higher position in the list.
8. Restore - Deletes all dependency rules.
9. Replace automatically - Distributes resource colours automatically.
10. Upwards – Increases the priority of a resource in the allocation of a colour.
11. Downwards – Decreases the priority of a resource in the allocation of a colour.
12. Finally, click on the button OK.
