Project Plan 365 provides a set of tables used to show specific information about tasks, resources, and assignments in a sheet view. A sheet view, which contains a list of tasks or resources, is defined further by a table, which is a group of related columns or fields. The columns seen in a sheet depend on the table applied. In Gantt Chart view the default table is Entry.

To apply a table to the view, point to Table on the Project menu and then select the table you want to apply.

There are two types of tables:

   1. task tables (which are applied to task type views)

   2. resource tables (which are applied to resource type views)

To use a view that is not on the menu, click Project menu →Table → More Tables.

  Practice

   1. Use the Commercial Construction project plan created during Lab 8 - Entering Progress. In Gantt Chart view apply the Work table (to apply a table to a view, use the Table option available under Project menu). What you will notice?

​         2. Review costs associated to the project. In Gantt Chart view apply the Cost table. The following columns will be displayed in the view: Fixed Cost, Total Cost, Actual Cost and Remaining Cost.
