The Date/Time box below the VCR buttons shows the point in time through the simulation. You can click on
the drop-down icon to the right of the date to display a calendar, from which you can select a date to 'jump' to.
The Settings Button
The Settings button opens the Simulation Settings Dialog Box on page 346 that enables you to define how the
schedule is simulated.
The Active Tasks
All Active Tasks are show in a multi-column table. You can move and resize table columns, if necessary.
You can view the current simulation time for each of the active tasks, and how close to completion they are
(Progress is displayed as a percentage). The Status of each active task is also displayed as an icon. For simulations
where Planned and Actual dates are available, the status provides a visual representation as to whether there is
any variance between the planned and actual dates. See
The Status Icons on page 337 for more information.
Select Link Dialog Box
When you relink a task to an external schedule you will be prompted to select which link to use, as your project
may be linked to multiple schedules.
Field Selector Dialog Box
The Field Selector dialog box determines various options used when importing data from a link. The options
available may be different for each type of link source.
