Planning View
The Planning View allows you to quickly enter tasks and establish relationships between them. The view below shows the Planning View used with the file project SAMPLE1 supplied with MinuteMan.
The red and blue boxes in the grid on the right are individual tasks. (Red is 'Critical', blue is 'Normal', explained later.) Lines between tasks are "links" indicating that the task to the right can't start until tasks to
its left have completed.
- A milestone (task with duration of zero) is indicated by a diamond within a box.
- Tasks with non-zero duration are indicated by a plain box.
It is common to place similar, sequential, related tasks in the same row. The fields under "Task Group Summary" to the left of the grid may be edited to enter a general comment or description about the tasks in that row.
Any task can be deleted by highlighting (clicking ) the task and clicking the "-T" button at the top of the screen. A task can be inserted at any vacant location in the grid by highlighting or clicking the location, and then clicking the +T button at the top of the screen. A task can be deleted.
