Layout adjustment

BigPicture gives you the flexibility to display your information just the way you need. You can decrease line spacing to fit in more information on the screen or increase it to give the data more breathing room.

By default, there are three layouts to choose from:

Compact
Regular
Wide

Layout adjustments are the same for the Gantt and Scope modules.

To make changes to the layout:

Expand the View drop-down menu.
Select the layout.

Compact

With the compact view, line spacing is reduced to the minimum to display as much data as possible on your screen.

Regular

The regular view uses standard line spacing. It is the happy medium between the ease of navigation and the number of issues you can see.

Wide

The wide view option uses larger line spacing for maximum clarity.

Grid and WBS lines

You can show the horizontal and vertical lines on the WBS and the timeline to help you select the tasks you want to edit.

Expand/Collapse

You can expand and collapse all levels of the task structure and task timeline.

Task structure:

Click View > Expand/collapse levels at the top menu.

Alternatively, you can expand and collapse levels from the Customize Column menu of a given column.

Task timeline:

Click the Expand/Collapse icon next to a task bar.
