April 2020 Tips and Tricks

For these and more, view Tips and Tricks for April 2020

Working remotely
I started working remotely last month. Can I use my Milestones license on my personal laptop?

Horizontal connector size
I cannot figure out how to size the connectors to fit the height of my task row. I can size the symbols on either end but cannot make the connector fit in the row.

Chart comparison
When I refresh a Milestones schedule from an updated Excel file can I get a report to see the difference between the original file and the updated file.

Scroll-Lock affects arrow keys
I am trying to move symbols to different outlines within the row but holding down shift and then using the arrow to go up or down. This normally works but is not currently working for me.

Change a symbol’s color
How can I change the color of an individual symbol on the schedule?

Change the color of horizontal bars
How can I change the color of an individual bar on the schedule?

Hide the dates on summary lines
When I roll-up all lower-level task bars to the summary line, I would like to hide the symbol dates. Is this possible?

No change or unexpected changes after schedule refresh
Only some of my project tasks are refreshing!

Hyperlinks not working
When I try to launch the symbol hyperlink, the linked Excel file will not open. What is wrong?
