How can I show many different items on the same task (bar)line ?

RE: project

Hi Garry

Thanks for your question.

First create a summary task with indented items below it.
Select the indented items and press shift + F2 to bring up the multiple task properties dialog box. On the general tab click in the box Roll up Gantt Bar to summary so that a tick is in the box. Click ok.

Next double click your summary task and on the general tab put a tick in the hide task bar check box.

Finally click on the minus symbol beside your summary task to fold up the indented tasks leaving only the rolled up bars appearing on one line.

I hope this is helpful - please do let us know if you need further information.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
