The Basics 2-3
Sidebar
The optional sidebar is an extra toolbar anchored to the left or right side of the Milestones window. The sidebar
contains the toolbox and a user-defi ned list of shortcut buttons for a variety of activities including moving from page
to page, creating web pages, fi ltering, applying a color theme, creating a master schedule, and much more.
Sidebar options
Under the Tools menu in the Customize section, choose Sidebar Options to make
changes to the sidebar. Changes to the Sidebar Options dialog box apply to all schedules.
Choose Show Sidebar on left, Show Sidebar on right, or Do not show Sidebar (in
which case the toolbox becomes free-fl oating). You must close and restart Milestones for
these changes to take effect.
Choose to Remove shortcut buttons from the list of Current Sidebar icons, and Add
buttons from the list of Available Sidebar icons.
If you cannot see all of the sidebar shortcut icons you selected, note that the number of
visible sidebar icons is determined by the toolbox size, screen resolution, and Milestones
window size. The fewer rows of symbols, bars, and links in the toolbox, the more sidebar
shortcut icons are visible. A screen resolution of 1280x1024 will show more sidebar shortcut
icons than a screen resolution of 800x600. Also, a maximized Milestones window will
display more sidebar shortcut icons than a minimized window.
