Edit a Data Source
To edit a data source
1 If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab
ToolsTimeLiner
.
2 In the TimeLiner window, the Data Sources tab, right-click the data
source you want to modify, and click Edit on the shortcut menu.
The
Field Selector Dialog Box (page 616) opens.
Typically, this dialog box is used to customize the column mapping
between the TimeLiner and the external project file. For example, if
the external file includes BaselineStart and End dates you may want
to map them to the Start Date and End Date columns in TimeLiner.
Also, if you have added any
user columns (page 633) to TimeLiner, for
each link, you must map the data in the external file to the required user
columns in TimeLiner, otherwise the user columns will be empty.
3 Click OK.
NOTE For each data source, you must either rebuild the task hierarchy or
synchronize tasks to apply the changes.
