Customizing the Toolbox 3-1
Chapter 3: Customizing the Toolbox and Sidebar
The toolbox contains the building blocks of your schedule: symbols, horizontal bars, and vertical links. Any of these
symbols and bars can be changed to a different shape, size, type, color, or pattern.
All of the toolbox settings are unique to the current schedule. Thus, if you make a toolbox change in one schedule,
it does not affect any of your other schedules.
» You can copy and paste the toolbox into other schedules or save the fi le as a personal template so that all
toolbox settings are retained for future use. To copy the toolbox, right click and choose Copy Toolbox.
If the sidebar option is selected, the toolbox automatically appears within the sidebar.
