Question:

|
Answer:
Many of the date headings will allow a starting number.
-
Click once on any of the date headings on the schedule. The toolbar changes to Current Object: Date Heading.
-
Select the monthly date heading Monthly: 1,2,3,...12, 13. This one offers continuous numbering.
-
Enter a number for Start for that date heading.
Example 1:
This example uses -7 for the start number. Note that zero does appear when using this type of heading. The workaround for this is to use a custom heading (see example 4 below)
Example 2:
This example uses 17 for the starting month number.
Example 3:
This example illustrates the yearly, monthly and quarterly numbered options with
- Pick the date heading.
- Specify the Start number.
- Optionally, enter a Prefix and/or Suffix.
Example 4:
Custom headings offer the most flexibilty.
- Click once on any of the date headings on the schedule. The toolbar changes to Current Object: Date Heading.
- Click Edit Custom Headings.
- On the Custom Type 1 tab, make entries as shown below:
- Under Date Heading Text, enter the numbers to be shown for each time period.
- For Date that Time Period Ends on, use the date picker to choose month end dates for each month.
- Optionally, use a second custom heading (Custom Type 2) to add the date for the project award.
- Enter the text to be shown for Date Heading Text.
- Enter a date far in the future for Date that Time Period Ends on.
- Click OK and then pick Custom Heading 1 and Custom Heading 2 to get the result below.
