Project Planner Plot View

The Project Planner includes a plot view that makes it easy to visualize the timelines in your project.

To access this view, click Plot at the bottom of the Project Planner.

• Use the Filter Options area to select whether to filter the data by Gate or by using a Date range. You can also choose to view data for Top Level Gates only.

• In the Display Options area:

• • Show Planned, Show Expected and Show Actual determine which timelines will be shown in the plot.

  • • To specify the colors that will be used in both the project plan Gantt chart and the plot, choose View > Settings > Set Colors. (See Set Colors for Project Planner.)

  • Display Actions shows the dependent actions for each gate.

  • Show Project Item shows the “project” gate at the top of the hierarchy.

  • Show First Gate on Top determines whether the gate with the earliest start date will show at the top or bottom of the chart.

  • Auto Refresh refreshes the plot automatically whenever changes have been made. If this option is cleared, you can click the Redraw Plot icon () to refresh the display.

  • Keep Aspect Ratio maintains the proportional relationship between the width and height of the plot image.
