TimeLiner Tasks
The Tasks tab can be used to create and edit tasks, to attach tasks to geometry items, and to validate your project
schedule.
You can adjust the Task View.
You can also add new user columns to the default column set. This is useful when you create links to external
project files that contain more fields than TimeLiner.
To move a column
1 Open the TimeLiner window, and click the Tasks tab.
2 Position the mouse over the header of the column you want to move, and press the left mouse button.
3 Drag the column header to the desired location, and release the left mouse button.
To resize a column
1 Open the TimeLiner window, and click the Tasks tab.
2 Select the grid line at the right border of the column header of the column you want to resize.
3 Drag to the right to enlarge the column, or to the left to shrink it.
To specify sort order
1 Right-click the header of the column you want to use, and click Sort to open the shortcut menu.
2 Select Ascending or Descending to specify a sort order.
Ascending order sorts the column starting with the smallest value and ending with the largest value (for
example: a-z, 0-9, Monday-Friday). Descending order sorts the column starting with the largest value and
ending with the smallest value.
NOTE If sorting is selected on the Status column, activities will be sorted from early through to late start for
ascending, and vice-versa for descending.
3 By default, Autodesk Navisworks preserves the task hierarchy during the sorting process, that is tasks are
sorted first by container, then by container contents. If you want to turn this option off, right-click any
column header, and click Sort ➤ Maintain Hierarchy. The tasks and containers will be treated as unrelated
items.
NOTE You can only sort by one column at a time. Instead of using the shortcut menu to change the sort order, you
can click the heading of the desired column. This alternates the sort order between ascending and descending.
