Adding Sub-Projects to a Master Schedule

When adding sub-projects to Master Schedule, the sub project is displayed with name of a sub project previously included in the Master schedule. The information in the sub-project is correct, but the name of the sub-project is incorrect and therefore misleading.

What is the best was to resolve this?

RE: Adding Sub-Projects to a Master Schedule

Hi Colin

Try going to:
File > Info > Project Information drop down (on the right) > Advanced Properties

Here you should be able to change the Title Field for the sub projects - this is what is used for the summary line insertion point name when you create a master file.

Let us know if you need any more help after trying this.

Kind Regards,
