Copy symbols from one schedule to another
I need to copy some symbols on one schedule to another schedule. How can I do this?
Sanitize a project schedule
Is there a quick way to remove all links to any and all milestones in your file quickly, without having to go to each milestone? We’d like to strip off all links associated with milestones within a file and any short names we’ve given or placed on a file.
Calculate BCWS using baseline duration
I have a row with many milestones (20 or so). I would like to calculate the difference between two specific milestones on each row of my schedule. (Start up date and First Delivery Date) Any ideas?
Frequency of use of a toolbox symbol
Is there a way to get a summary of how many times each toolbox symbol has been used? I need to identify which symbols in the toolbox have been used the least.
Calculate difference between two milestone dates on a row with many milestones
I have a row with many milestones (20 or so). I would like to calculate the difference between two specific milestones on each row of my schedule. (Start up date and First Delivery Date) Any ideas?
Change the default save location
I would like to change the default location where charts are saved. How can I do this?
Change the font size of many symbols at once
I want to change the font size of all symbols at once.
Customize the toolbox
I notice that the Milestones schedules all have different toolboxes. Can I customize my toolbox so that when I create new schedules, I always start with the same toolbox?
Date format and importing from Excel
We are trying to import a spreadsheet from Excel to Milestones. We have correctly mapped the dates to the proper fields, yet the start and finish dates are not appearing in the Milestones schedule. What is the solution?
