Setting a Schedule Sheet as the Master Schedule Sheet

The system allows one master schedule sheet per project/shell. You can mark a schedule sheet in a project/shell and a project/shell template as the Master Schedule sheet.

DANGER:

Caution: Upon saving, Master Schedule designation is permanent and cannot be undone.

You can use the master schedule sheet to:

  • Drive project dates, for example start date, finish date, planned completion, revised completion
  • Drive activity start and end dates
  • Track progress of activities over the lifetime of the project
  • Drive scope management
  • Post costs to the Cost Manager
  • Support Cash Flow and Earned Value analysis
  • Interface with the Resource Manager for resource assignments and availability

To mark a sheet as the master schedule sheet:

  1. Go to the shell tab, and switch to User mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, select Schedule Manager, and then select Schedule Sheets.
  3. In the Schedule Sheets log, select the sheet that you want to make a master schedule sheet, and select Properties.
  4. On the General tab of the Properties window, select the Create as master schedule sheet checkbox.
  5. When the confirmation message appears, select Yes.
