Using the Status Bar and Layout Options bar
Windows and dialog boxes contain a number of special and unique features.
Status bar
The Status bar is a message bar at the bottom of the window that displays information that can include the name of the current portfolio, the access mode, the data date, the current baseline, the job status of the last job request, the current user name, and the name of the database alias chosen at login as well as database type, where database type when connected to a P6 Professional database would display as (Professional) or where database type when connected to a P6 EPPM database would display as (EPPM).
Layout Options bar
Most windows and dialog boxes include an Options bar at the top of the screen that displays the name of the current layout and filter, and that you can click to display a number of commands that enable you to customize the current display. Click the Options bar to display a menu of the commands available for that window or dialog box.
You can also view hierarchical information, such as the work breakdown structure, in table (list) or chart view (hierarchy) format.
Note
- When you view data in chart view format, you can display up to 2,000 boxes.
