Organizer
in [Project]
|
From: CB on 8 May 2008 12:09 I have a simple question concerning the Organizer. What items are stored in the .mpp file and which are stored in the global by default. It seem that map data is saved the global and all others are saved to the individual files. Is this correct?
From: Dale Howard [MVP] on 8 May 2008 16:29 CB -- The easiest way to determine what you want to know is to create a new blank project and then immediately click Tools - Organizer. You will see that the Global.mpt file contains ALL of the default objects that ship with Microsoft Project. You will also see that the MPP project contains only a few of these objects intially, such as the Gantt Chart view, the task Entry table, the All Tasks filter, and the No Group group. Next, click the Cancel button to close the Organizer dialog. Apply the Resource Sheet view, then apply the Task Usage view, apply the Calendar view, and then return to the Gantt Chart view. Click View - Table and select the Cost table. Repeat this step and apply the Work table and then apply the Variance table. Click Tools - Organizer again. On the Views page, you will now see that the software copied the Resource Sheet view, the Task Usage view, and the Calendar view into the project. Click the Tables tab. You will see the software copied the Cost table, the Work table, and the Variance table into the project as well. Get hte picture? Whenever you use a default object, such as a View, the software copies that object into your project. There are a couple of exceptions to this rule, notably Toolbars and Maps. These remain in the Global.mpt file and do not get copied into the project when you use them. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
