Managing Projects › Autoschedule › Display Schedules

Display Schedules

You can display the plan of record (current schedule) and any existing tentative schedules. Use the Schedule toolbar to display the schedule. This toolbar appears on most of the project task pages including:

• The Project: Properties: Main - Schedule page
• The Project: Tasks: Task List page
• The Project: Tasks: Work Breakdown Structure page
• The Project: Tasks: Resource Utilization page
• The Project: Tasks: Assignments page
• The Project Dashboard page

If a project is locked, either because you have it checked out in a desktop scheduler, such as Open Workbench or Microsoft Project, or because a tentative schedule was created for it by another user, the Schedule toolbar only displays for the resource that locked the project.

If you select to display a tentative schedule, the Schedule toolbar changes to yellow which indicates the project is in tentative schedule mode.

Tentative Schedule and Master Projects

Multiple tentative schedules can exist for a project but only in the context of being a subproject within a master project. For example, if you create a tentative schedule for a master project, then a tentative schedule is also created for all of its subprojects. One or more of the subprojects could already have tentative plans created explicitly for them. If a subproject is locked when the master project tentative schedule is created, then a non-publishable schedule is created for that subproject. Else, the subproject is locked and a publishable schedule is created for it. A subproject can thus have one publishable tentative plan (explicitly for itself) and another non-publishable plan from being a subproject.

To display a schedule

1. Open the project.

   The Project: Properties: Main - General page appears.

2. From any project page displaying the Schedule toolbar, choose Plan Of Record from the Schedule toolbar.

   The plan of record displays.
