Many time-scale options
Schedules can show standard time scales ranging from minutes to years, and custom, user-defi ned periods.
Choose minutely, hourly, or daily for symbol placement; top and/or bottom of the schedule for date heading
placement; and any period frequency (e.g. every 5 years). A few possibilities:
Years, months, quarters, weeks from start of schedule
Hours and minutes
Fiscal years and quarters
Templates for instant formatting
Templates save time by preserving the customized toolbox, columns, column headings, page layout, and more.
Templates retain the formatting (the “look” of a chart) while charts preserve schedule details (task row entries,
dates, column value entries, etc.).
Choose from dozens of Milestones Simplicity’s Standard Templates, and create Personal Templates to be used by
your whole division or company. Begin with a template or overlay an existing schedule with a template.
The working schedule (below, left) is instantly transformed into a stunning presentation schedule (below, right)—all
with the use of a template. See Chapter 9 for more information.
