Define View's Layout

The Layout tab on the View Definition dialog box displays a list of fields that appear as columns in a view. You can insert, remove, and format columns using this tab.

You can do the following on this tab:

• Insert a column. Select the column in front of where you want the new column to appear and press the Insert key on your keyboard.
• Remove a column. Select the column and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
• Format the cells in a column. Click one of the cells in the column and click Format Cell.

  The Formatting Options dialog box opens, where you can describe the view.

To define a view's layout

1. Select New View from the View group in the Project ribbon.

   The Layout tab on the View Definition dialog box opens.

2. In the list of field names, double-click item icons to expand the folder and display field names, and drag them to a cell in the layout selection grid.

   For example, you can expand the Task Information folder, expand the Description subfolder, and drag a task field name such as Short Name to a cell in the grid. To replace an existing field cell, drag the field to that cell. To add the field as a new cell in the grid, drag it to an empty cell.
