Headings

Figure 94: The Headings window.

Use this window to control the default report title and column headings that appear on new schedules. These headings are used throughout the Assignments Editor, where they form the column titles on the generated schedule.

How to Access

You can access this feature from:

  • Options — Headings

Using the Headings Window

The Headings window lists every column that can appear on a schedule. Select a heading from the list to edit its text. Any changes you make will be reflected on printed and exported schedules, and saved with the schedule file if you choose to save it.

Report Title

The report title appears at the top of printed and exported schedules. You can type the title directly into the Report Title box, or you can insert special date variables using the Insert Date button. These variables automatically display the start, end, or meeting date for the schedule.

Insert Date

Press Insert Date to open the pop‑up window. Although you can type the variables manually, using this window is the simplest way to insert them.

    • Full Month
    • Abbreviated Month
    • Customised Date (see Custom Date Formats for details)
  • Click OK to insert the variable at the current cursor position in the title.
