Date Headings
You can have up to 4 levels of Date Headings on your schedule, shown above the schedule area, below the
schedule area, or both. The Date Headings are used as a reference point for the symbols and bars on your
schedule.
You should select headings that are appropriate for the time span of your schedule and the amount of horizontal
space over your schedule area. For example, daily headings in a schedule displaying one year would not be
appropriate for an 8.5” by 11” page size, since it would be diffi cult to squeeze 365 daily divisions into the amount of
space available.
Format the Date Headings
To bring up the menu for formatting the date headings:
1. On the schedule, click the once on the date heading. This should display the Selection menu. This menu
can also be found under Dates | Date Headings | Date Headings Full Dialog.
The following menu appears:
2. For any of the four available headings, click the drop-down arrow and choose a heading type. Choose
from 35 standard date heading styles ranging from years to minutes and 4 user-created custom headings.
3. Choose Align month start with week starting day in order to line up the month headings with the week
headings.
4. Under Background, click the the color box and choose a background
color. Choose an optional Effects for fading from the background color
to white.
Date heading Start number
If the date heading type is a series of non-repeating numbers, then you can choose a Start number.
For example, the heading Monthly 1, 2, 3,…12, 1 cycles from 1 to 12, then begins again at 1. A
Start number would be ignored with this heading type.
The heading Monthly 1, 2, 3,…12, 13 begins with 1 and does not start over; therefore, you can
use a Start number. This is the setting for such a date heading:
