Update: A new option introduced by version 8.0, to customize the task column title
Best practices for the printing challenge
The project plan generated using QuickPlan may include many tasks, or the project duration is very long. In this case, the project output corresponds to a much larger size than a piece of paper can accommodate. Please check out our practices for this challenge
MS Excel
There are some options to customize the tobe exported content in the Excel file
- Excel sheets – Option to include or not include "Task dispatch sheet" and "Members assignment sheet". The "Task list sheet" is always included.
- Include Gantt chart – Option to include or not include "Gantt chart" in the first sheet "Task list sheet"
- Include "QuickPlan" info – By default, PDF will includes a line to show that the PDF is created by QuickPlan (so other people know what app they can use to create the professional report). This option can be disabled.
- Show "% comp." in Gantt chart – If need to show % comp. before task name in Gantt chart of the first sheet.
Notes
Many users like the Gantt Chart in the exported Excel file. QuickPlan uses one cell to simulate one day of the Gantt chart in the exported Excel file. As the exported Excel is compatible with Apple Number, and the maximum task column amount is limited (about 256), if the project duration is long, there will be no enough columns to simulate the Gantt chart, in the case the Gantt chart option will be disabled, please export the project as PDF file.
