different user-defined date headings per schedule. Any or all of those
custom headings can be displayed using the four date heading levels on
your schedule. |
| |
| How to create a custom heading |
-
Choose Format
| Dates | Headings...
-
Click the Create or Edit Custom Headings button.
-
Choose Custom
Type 1 (or any custom heading that is available for use).
-
In the first
cell under Date Heading Text, enter the first heading text (e.g.
"Phase 1").
-
Tab over to Date that Time Period Ends On, and enter the date that the first
time period ends.
-
Refer to you
project's starting date to determine the beginning date for the first
entry's time span. That is, if the project start date is 1/1/2001 and
the first date entry is 2/28/2001, then the first custom heading will
span from 1/1 to 2/28.
-
If this schedule
will be viewed by others, it's best to choose Custom Heading Data is
Embedded in Schedule.
Continue these
steps until you have entered all of your custom date heading's text and
dates; then click OK. To display this custom
heading, choose Custom Heading Type 1 (or 2, 3, or 4) under Heading Type. |

example for Custom Type 1, three line entries are made for Date Heading Text.
The text "Phase 1" will appear
beginning on the schedule's start date and ending on the user-enter
date 2/15/2004.
The text "Phase 2" will appear
beginning 2/16/2004 and end on 4/30/2005.
The text "Phase 3" will appear from
5/1/2005 to 6/30/2006.
As shown in the image above, this
custom heading is displayed along with two standard heading
selections.
