Viewing Tasks

Viewing Tasks in the Tasks Pane

By default tasks are sorted by their Start Date.

To sort the tasks by column, click the column that you want to sort the tasks on.

To change whether the tasks are displayed in ascending or descending order do one of the following:

• Click the column until the column shows the order that you want.
• Click the context menu button on the column that you want to sort on. You can find this at the far right of the heading when hovering over it. Click Sort Ascending or Sort Descending depending on the option you want.

Note

When you sort the tasks by column, the tasks are marked as changed. Sorting tasks by column does not change the data in project tasks, it changes the order in which they are displayed within the current context.

To change the columns shown:

1. Click a context menu button in a column heading.
2. Hover over Columns.
3. Select the columns that you want to display and deselect the columns that you want to hide.

To display all project tasks, click Expand all.

To hide all tasks except top-level tasks, click Collapse all.

Note

Project Task Gantt remembers any changes that you have made to the column layout or sort order, even if you switch to managing a different project. Because this works by saving a cookie to your machine, the default column layout will display again if you access Project Task Gantt using a different browser.
