Project Center Column Options

You can add columns containing task and booking information in the project outline.

Click the Columns icon in the toolbar or press on your keyboard to display the List view columns panel. Select the columns you want to include and specify the column order. Click Apply to validate your changes and return to the project center view. Your column preferences continue to apply the next time you go to the project center view until you change them or switch to a different list layout. See also Selecting List Columns and Personalized List Layouts.

Some columns contain information both for the nodes in the project structure (project, phases, tasks and milestones) and for the bookings:

• The Start and Finish columns in the project outline show the start and finish dates for the booking row. For grouped booking rows, the Start column shows the earliest booking start date in the group and the Finish column shows the latest booking finish date in the group.

• The Hours — Booked column shows the total hours booked for each row. For grouped booking rows, the Hours -Booked column shows the total hours booked across all bookings in the group. The column also shows the total hours booked for each task, phase, and for the entire project. The value is updated automatically when you save changes in the booking grid.

  Note:

  The Show Booked Hours on Lists feature must be enabled for your account to show the total hours booked at the project level.

  There may be rounding discrepancies between the value shown in the Hours -Booked column and the sum of values shown in the booking grid.

• The Hours – ETC — The Estimate to Complete (ETC) column shows hours for each task, for each phase, and for the entire project. It is the total number of hours booked to the task, to all tasks in the phase, or to all tasks in the project and to the project, from the current week or month to the end of the project inclusive.

• The Hours – EAC — The Estimate at Completion (EAC) column shows hours for each task, for each phase, and for the entire project. It is the sum of the ETC and the total number of hours worked to the task, to all tasks in the phase, or to all tasks in the project and to the project, for all past weeks or months since the project start.

  Note:

  The Hours – ETC and Hours – EAC values are calculated only when the Actuals switch is ON. See Hours Worked in Past Weeks or Months (Actuals).

• The Notes column in the project outline shows the notes for phases, tasks, milestones, booking. You can view or edit notes for phases, tasks, milestones, bookings and view notes for the project in the same column.

  Note:

  Review the following guidelines:

  • Notes are read-only for projects. If the notes field in a grouped booking row are empty, there are already notes for this row or the field is empty.

  • Changing the notes cell for a grouped booking row, overwrites the notes for every booking in the row.

  • If the notes cell for a grouped booking row is empty then either there are different notes for different bookings in the row, or the notes field is empty for all booking in the row.

• The Non-billable task column is editable for task and milestones.
