Setting up your project defaults

Project defaults are global project settings. There are two types of defaults:

• Project Options - These options are applicable to a particular project and are saved in the project file. You define project options on the Schedule tab, Settings group, Options.
• Global Options - These project defaults are applied to all new projects and are saved in the system registry. Global options include default risk properties, default risk outcomes, and default values of project options. You save global options clicking on Set as default in the tabs that support defaults in the Options, Risk Outcome, and Risk Properties dialog boxes.

The Options dialog box includes seven tabs. Use the:

• View tab to setup general project parameters and the appearance of the RiskyProject desktop
• Duration tab to define the calculation of task durations
• Calendar tab is responsible for the calculation of the project schedule
• Units tab defines how time units are displayed or input
• Calculation tab to set up default calculation parameters
• Cost tab is responsible for default cost parameters and calculation
• Risk tab defines default risks for the Global and Local risks.
