View area. Each view will playback the schedule depicting Planned and
Actual relationships:
■ Actual. Choose this view to simulate the Actual schedule only (that is,
only use the Actual Start and Actual End dates).
■ Actual (Planned Differences). Choose this view to simulate the Actual
schedule against the Planned schedule. This view will only highlight the
items attached to the task over the Actual date range (that is, between
Actual Start and Actual End. See diagram below for graphical
representation). For time periods where the Actual dates are within the
Planned dates (on schedule), the items attached to the task will be
displayed in the Task Type Start Appearance. For time periods where
the Actual dates are early, or late in comparison to the Planned dates
(there is a variance), then the items attached to the task will be displayed
in the Task TypeEarly or Late Appearance, respectively.
