Data Ribbon

The Data ribbon supports Schedule views. It does not appear if a Flowchart, Pivot Table or Dashboard view is displayed.

This tab provides a range of tools that you can utilise to manage and constrain data, and specifically, the filtering, sorting and grouping of data displayed in the Tasks area, Gantt chart and Crosstab.
