Define Subproject Task Options

Use the Subprojects tab on the Task Properties dialog box for a selected subproject or external task to review or change the subproject options.

Keep the following in mind when editing subprojects and subproject tasks in a master project:

• The changes you make to subprojects are reflected at the master-project level when you open the master project next, unless you have both the master and subproject open simultaneously.
• If you inserted the subproject as read-only into your maser project, you can edit its option, but the changes you make cannot be saved.

To define a subproject's task options

1. Right-click a subproject task in the view and select Modify from the shortcut menu.

   The Task Properties dialog box opens.

2. Click the Subproject tab.

   The Subproject page opens.

3. Complete the following fields on the page, and click OK:

   Project

   Review the subproject's name.

   Read-only

   Select to display the subprojects as read-only in the master project.

   Note: This field displays as read-only and is unavailable if you inserted the subproject task as read-only.

   The Task Properties dialog box closes.
