Date Navigation in the Project Center

The Project Center view shows a booking grid alongside the project outline. Each column corresponds to a week or a month, and the column header shows the first day of the week or month, depending on the chosen granularity.

• Click the week icon or month icon to switch between weekly and monthly granularity in the booking grid. Depending on the selected granularity, the booking grid shows a week-by week or month-by-month schedule.

  Review the following guidelines:

  • When adding or changing hours in a booking grid cell, SuiteProjects Pro creates a separate booking record for this booking grid cell. In a week-by-week schedule, bookings are created for each week. In a month-by-month schedule, bookings are created for each month.

  • Switching between weekly and monthly granularity without adding or changing hours does not change the bookings.

    • Hours added in a month-by-month schedule are shown as distributed proportionally across all the full weeks and part weeks in that month when you switch to weekly granularity.

    • Hours added in a week-by-week schedule are summarized when you switch to monthly granularity. Hours for overlapping weeks (weeks overlapping across two consecutive months) are shown as distributed proportionally across both months.

  • When changing hours for a booking spanning several booking grid cells (several weeks or months), SuiteProjects Pro creates separate bookings for the cell you modified, the range of cells from the original booking immediately to the left of the cell you modified, and the range of cells from the original booking immediately to the right of the cell you modified.

  • You should use the same granularity when adding and modifying booking hours for the same project. Adding hours in one granularity and modifying these hours in the other granularity may lead to unintended decimals and cell value overrides in you project schedules.

• The number of visible columns in the grid depends on the size of your browser window. It is calculated automatically when you first load the page or when you refresh it.

• You can use the horizontal scroll bar to move through the project timeline. The default scroll range covers the period between the earliest booking start date and the latest booking end date across the project.

• You can use the date navigation panel in the toolbar to change the visible columns in the booking grid.

  • Click the previous icon or next icon to move the visible period backward or forward by the number of visible columns. You can also do this when you reach either end of the scroll range to extend the scroll range and reach dates previously outside the scroll range.

  • Click the date in the center of the date navigation panel to select the starting date of the visible period. The column containing the date you select then becomes the first visible column on the left. Selecting a date outside the scroll range shifts the scroll range but does not extend it.
