Publish a single schedule as HTML

Milestones Simplicity's Internet Publisher makes it possible to publish a single schedule as HTML, or a complete hierarchy of schedules, complete with hotspots, in minutes.

For each schedule, the Internet Publishing output is an HTML document containing a picture of each page of the schedule, optional tables of schedule data, and more.

Publish a single schedule as HTML and pictures:

1. Choose Connections| Other | Internet Publishing Wizard.

2. HTML File with Optional Graphics.

3. Choose a Background Color, then Next.

4. Enter a Title for the HTML page, then Next. For no title, just key an HTML command, such as <br>.

5. Select the Bitmap Options and then Next.

   • Include a Bitmap of each page to create a picture of each schedule page.

   • Bitmap Format for the graphics output.For Bitmap Format, JPEG is usually the best choice if the image will be viewed with a browser. Not all browsers support BMP files. GIF is limited to only 256 colors, so any included bitmaps or gradient fills will degrade in quality. Most browsers support PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files; it is not limited to 256 colors; and is a good alternative to GIF. PNG files are about the same size as GIF files.

   • JPEG Compression factor from 10 to 99 (or none).The lower the JPEG Compression number selected, the smaller the file will be. However, the image quality will degrade accordingly.

   • Image Scale ratio.Determines how large the resultant bitmap is.  1.0 is full size according to the page layout size. 0.5 is 50% of the page layout size.

   • Graphic File Name Starter for a letter which prefixes all graphics file names, e.g. GG0001.jpg.

6. Select the Task Table Options and then Next.

   • Exclude Symbols from the Task Table to not display symbol dates in the Task Table portion of the HTML file. The Task Table is a table of schedule data, with one row per task.

   • Exclude Task Table from HTML File to not display the entire Task Table in the HTML file.

7. Select Additional Options and then Next.

   • Exclude File Name to not display the name of the Milestones file in the HTML file.

   • Exclude Start and End Date to not display Project Start Date and End Date notations in the HTML file.

8. Choose Browse to select the file name and location for the HTML and picture files.

9. Choose Next and Finish.
