Project Settings

To open this screen:

• On the Home ribbon click Project Settings.

Before you create tasks and schedule a project, you must specify project settings. These can be modified later.

The settings include items such as:

• General settings that define the overall environment in which the schedule is calculated and presented.
• Filters used in various scheduling screens, including the task and Crosstab views.
• Numeric production fields (for example; tons, volumes, metres, grades, direct costs, calculated fields and so on).
• Text fields and code fields used for reporting.
• Scheduling and report calendars.
• Cross-task dependencies and associated dependency layers.
• Production targets.
• Production rate tables used to set the default production rate for driving resources when assigned to tasks.
• Task sorting and grouping options to make results clearer to analyse.
• Lookup Tables used to substitute one value for another by looking at values defined in a table.
• Global constants that you can then use in filters and formulas.
• Settings that control short-term scheduling activities.
• Destination configuration to ensure you are sending material to the right place.
• Haulage road network settings that represent how material is transported between locations, and any associated machinery or operational constraints.

Note: If you are working with an DTS schedule that was created from an external program such as Studio UG or Studio OP, some project settings may already exist.
