Task summary bars

Question:     

Now that my schedule is outlined, I would like to display summary bars.  How do I turn these on?

 

Answer:

Summary bars can be displayed for any project steps that are level 2 or lower.  To turn on outlining:  

  1. Select Layout | Other | Summary Bar Settings.

  2. Under When to Draw:

    • click Always Draw to display summary bars at all times 

    • click Only When Rolled Up to display them only when the lower level tasks are rolled up

 

In this dialog box, you can also choose the symbols and connectors that show summary.

You can also choose to have lower level symbols "roll-up" to the summary bar by choosing Split Summary Bars using Lower Level Symbols/Bars.
