Overview

The Schedule Viewer is the primary place to review your project’s schedule. It presents your activities in a split layout: a task grid on the left and a Gantt timeline on the right. The timeline overlays multiple bar types so you can compare current dates against baseline, previous month, and resource assignment dates at a glance.

Prerequisites

  • Select a project from the project selector. The schedule does not load until a project is selected.

Reading the Schedule

Task Grid

The left-hand grid lists every activity with its key schedule data — Activity ID, WBS, Work Package, start and finish dates, percent complete, total float, CAM, and any configured custom columns. Rows are grouped according to your current view setting. Click any row to open the task detail panel, which shows the full set of activity properties including predecessors, successors, and resource assignment information.

Timeline Bars

The Gantt timeline displays up to four overlapping bars for each activity:
BarWhat It Shows
BaselineThe original planned start and finish dates
Previous MonthStart and finish dates as of last month’s status
CurrentThe current scheduled start and finish dates
ResourceThe span of resource assignments for this activity
Activities on the critical path are highlighted in red.

Grouping and View Options

The schedule supports several grouping modes to organize activities by your preferred hierarchy:
ModeDescription
WBSGroup by Work Breakdown Structure level
CAMGroup by Control Account Manager
WBS by CAMPrimary WBS grouping with CAM sub-groups
CAM by WBSPrimary CAM grouping with WBS sub-groups
Total FloatGroup by total float value (useful for identifying schedule risk)
Total Float by Start DateTotal float groups sorted by activity start date

Saved Views

The Schedule Viewer supports named saved views that preserve your column layout, grouping, and filter settings. A System View loads by default. Use the view selector in the toolbar to save your own named views and switch between them across sessions.

Exporting

Click Export to download the schedule data. Export formats include Excel and PDF.
If you need to submit schedule status updates to your administrator — revised start/finish dates, percent complete, or activity step progress — use the Quick Status page. It provides a streamlined interface for entering and submitting those changes in bulk.
