June 2019 Tips and Tricks

Picture disappears
I added a picture to my schedule. However, as soon as I add the picture it disappears before I have a chance to re-size it.

Download a past version
I need to download version 2015. Where can I find it on your website?

Above and below the bar symbols
How do I add a downward pointing triangle, arrow or other symbol to the toolbox so that when added, it adds the milestone below or above or below the bar? I want to have a bar with several milestones above it but may also want to show milestones below the bar.

Appendix instead of Page
Can Milestones display the page numbering other than with the word “Page”? When I include a Milestones schedule in my report, it is in the appendix. Thus, I would like the pagination to say “Appendix” instead of “Page.”

After-status colors
Is it possible to have the symbols and bars change automatically when the status is complete? I want to show a circle when a task is incomplete and have it change to a diamond when it’s complete.

Calculate BCWS using baseline duration
When calculating BCWS as the budget column multiplied by percent duration to the current date, can I use percent duration of baseline to the current date?

Change the names of the months
How can I change the default name of each month as it appears in the date heading?

Choose default symbols and bar to use for summary tasks
I want to change the symbols used for the summary bars. How do I do this?
