Project 2003 Customizing a Project Plan

Objective

Learn to show project data in multiple ways through the use of customized reports, tables, fields, filters, groups, and views.

Prerequisite Skills

Comfortable creating and working with project plans.

(Suggested course: Project 2003 Creating a Project Plan, Project 2003 Refining a Project Plan, and Project 2003 Analyzing a Project Plan, and Project 2003 Tracking a Project)

Course Description

Your project is in the planning stage, or you are already tracking your progress toward completion. What if you want to see your project information in ways that Project doesn’t seem to offer, or you’d like to view some customized data that is specific to your company’s needs and way of tracking projects? This data is not included in Project’s built-in tables, but you can learn to customize Project’s built-in objects, such as reports and table, and also to create new objects from scratch. In this class, learn all of these skills and learn how to share your customized objects with other Project plan files or make them available to all new Project plans you create.

Attend this course if you want to:

  • Change or enhance the way a view, table, or chart currently prints, and add items such as headers and footers to printed pages.

  • Customize existing Project reports to better meet your needs.

  • Create new reports.

  • Customize existing Project tables to add or remove fields of data.

  • Create new tables.

  • Add customized fields to your project, and possibly enhance them with drop-down lists, calculations, or graphic indicators.

  • Customize existing Project filters.

  • Create new filters, including interactive filters that ask for the filter criteria each time you apply the filter.

  • Customize existing Project groups, to see your tables organized in different ways.

  • Create new groups.

  • Customize existing Project views, such as the Gantt chart view or Resource sheet view, to show the combination of tables, diagrams, forms, filters, and/or groups that you want to see.

  • Create new Project views, including single and combination view.

  • Use the Organizer to manage your customized objects, share them with other Project files, make them available to all new Project files, and rename them or delete them.
