Lesson 12.4. Viewing Consolidated Project Statistics

Figure 12-7. The Advanced tab of the Inserted Project Information dialog box.

Figure 12-8. The Project Statistics dialog box.

Projects that are part of a consolidated project can still have their own information. You can view information for the entire consolidated project, but you can also view information for its individual embedded projects.

1. Select the Microsoft Project Personal Trainer CD Insert summary task.

   This is the summary task for the second project in the consolidated project. You may have to scroll down to find this task.

   Now let's view the subproject information.

2. Click the Task Information button on the Standard toolbar.

   The Inserted Project Information dialog box appears.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

   This tab shows you where the source file of your inserted project is, as shown in Figure 12-7.

   Note: You can make some changes in this tab. Uncheck the "Link to Project" checkbox to break the link between the inserted subproject and its source file; they will not update each other when changes are made in either one. Also, you can check the "Read only" checkbox to make the inserted subproject read-only in the master consolidated project; you won't be able to perform any actions on it or update it.

4. Click the Project Info button in the Inserted Project Information dialog box.

   The Project Information dialog box appears.

5. Click the Statistics button in the Project Information dialog box.

   You have successfully viewed your inserted subproject information, as shown in Figure 12-8.
