Working with Detail Windows

When additional details about an item are necessary, rather than clutter the main work area, the application will often use subordinate tabbed panels called detail windows. Detail windows supplement their parent pages with related data and often include their own toolbars. You can show or hide detail windows to focus on the data most important to you. You can also hide the detail windows to provide a larger area for the grid.

When you customize the detail windows on the EPS, Activities, or Assignments pages, P6 prompts you to save the settings with the current view.

This illustration is a graphical representation of the text in the following table.
