The Link View
The links are shown in a multi-column table. The columns show link name, source (e.g. Microsoft
Project™), project (e.g. my_schedule.mpp, and link status. Any further columns (there maybe none)
identify the fields from the external schedule which specify the task type, unique id, start date and end
date for each linked task.
You can move and resize columns, if necessary.
The Link Status
Synchronized All linked tasks have the same values as the external schedule.
Old Linked tasks have values that are out of date compared to the external
schedule. Synchronize Tasks from Link to update the tasks.
Status Not Available Its not possible to determine whether tasks are Synchronized or Old. This
value only occurs for schedule sources that don't provide any way of
determining when a schedule was last updated.
Broken The external schedule can not be accessed. The file may have been moved or
deleted, or required software may be missing or not functioning correctly.
TimeLiner will still function using the task values determined when the link was
last synchronized.
The Shortcut Menus
Right-clicking within the links area on the tab, opens a shortcut menu that enables you to add and
manage links to external project files.
