RiskyProject Data Sheets
All RiskyProject views, except for the Project Summary view and
Project Dashboard, contain data sheets. Data sheets are used to
enter and present data in a grid format. Grids are also used in some
dialog boxes. All data sheets have similar features.
Data sheets are used to display task information, resources, risks,
and results of sensitivity analysis. Data sheets are composed of
columns and rows. Each column has specific properties, which
represent a specific data type. For example, resource name, resource
type, etc. You can customize data sheets to display the columns in
any order and any with a title in the column header. See the
appendix for a full description of each field.
