KIDASA Software Web site support and Q&A

questions our support team fielded recently:
Tip of the
month: Move a column from one side of the
schedule to the other
Q:
I have a schedule with
3 columns. I want the End
Dates column on the right
side of my schedule. How
can I do this?
A. Using the
arrow tool, click the
top border of the column you
want to move (1). The
cursor will change to
Drag the column to
the right side of the
schedule. You will
notice the insertion marker
Scrolling
through a schedule by a few days,
weeks, or months at a time
Question: I have a schedule that
spans many months, but I only want
to work on one week (sometimes one
month) at a time. Is there any way
that the schedule can just scroll
into the next (or previous) week,
month, quarter, year?
Duplicate
Items when refreshing from Microsoft
Project
Question: When updating our
Milestones Professional presentation
schedule, we are using a text field
in Microsoft Project. Our question
is, if the Microsoft Project file
has two tasks with the same text
"ID" then which task will the
Milestones refresh program use to
update the Milestones presentation
schedule?
Substitutable Duration Text
Question: Can I show the duration of
a horizontal task bar as the text
for that bar? Can I add text to it?
For Example [duration] working
days.
Vertical
Milestone Indicator Lines
Question: I would like to add
vertical milestone lines across all
tasks. The vertical milestone line
would look like the current date
line, but I would be able to add
several as needed. Is that possible?
Milestones
Professional Programming Reference
Question: I am trying to develop an
application which ties together my
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with
Milestones Professional so that I
can consolidate my financial
information with my schedule
information. I know Milestones
Professional fairly well but I am
not familiar with programming. Is
there any documentation anywhere?
"Thank you so very much
for a clear, concise, and comprehensive
training session on Milestones
Professional 2008. I have used the
program infrequently over the past 5-6
years, but now that I understand the
full capability of the program, I fully
intend to use Milestones as my primary
project management tool." - Satisfied
