Chapter 42. TimeLiner Tasks
In this section, you will learn how to create and edit tasks, how to attach tasks to geometry items, and
how to validate your schedule.
Adjusting the Task View
To move a column:
1. Position the mouse over the header of the column you want to move, and press the left mouse
button.
2. Drag the column header to the desired location, and release the left mouse button.
To resize a column:
1. Select the grid line at the right border of the column header of the column you want to resize.
2. Drag to the right to enlarge the column, or to the left to shrink it.
To specify a sort order:
1. Right-click the header of the column you want to use, and click Sort to open the shortcut menu.
2. Select Ascending or Descending to specify a sort order.
Ascending order sorts the column starting with the smallest value and ending with the largest value
(for example: a-z, 0-9, Monday-Friday). Descending order sorts the column starting with the largest
value and ending with the smallest value.
Note:
If sorting is selected on the Status column, activities will be sorted from early through to late start
for ascending, and vice-versa for descending.
3. By default, NavisWorks preserves the task hierarchy during the sorting process, that is tasks are
sorted first by container, then by container contents. If you want to turn this option off, right-click any
column header, and click Sort > Maintain Hierarchy. The tasks and containers will be treated as
unrelated items.
