Chapter 13: Group, Sort and Layouts

Overview

Group and Sort enables data such as activities in the Activity Window and WBS Nodes in the WBS Window and many other data items to be sorted and organized under other parameters such as Dates and Resources or user-defined Activity Codes. This function is similar to Organize in P3 and SureTrak and Grouping in Microsoft Project and Asta Powerproject.

Layouts is a function in which the formatting of parameters such as the Group and Sort, Columns and Bars is saved and reapplied later. This function is similar to Layouts in P3 and SureTrak or Views in Asta Power Project and Microsoft Project. A Layout may be edited, saved or reapplied at a later date and may have a Filter associated with it. Layouts contain the formatting for all options of both the top and bottom pane.
