Configure Your Project Summary
To help you keep track of the information that is most useful to you, you can customize the information that is displayed in the Project Summary window. Each part of the summary page is called a block. The data shown in a block can be in table form, a bar graph, or a pie chart. The summary page displays blocks on the right or the left.
You can add, edit, view, or delete summary reports as described below. You can customize how the summary report data is arranged in the Project Summary window, including displaying it on the left or right column, arranging the order of the display, and displaying the information as a table, bar chart, or pie chart.
The data that is displayed in this view is generated from summary-type, user-defined reports. Each block represents one report.
Note: The system displays the Tasks, Notifications, and Drafts nodes, in the respective Company Workspace and Project/Shell, based on the deployment of your user mode navigators.
