Customizing pages
Let us now look at the second tab in the top panel: the Sheet tab, which is accessible only when you select a page from your deliverable.
This tab contains all the settings used to customize the display and content of a sheet.
It includes the features used to manage:
- the sheet display
- zoom and navigation
- display options
- adding objects to the sheet
Zoom and navigation control
Let us look at the following buttons:
- By default, the Sheet button is active. The mouse wheel can then be used to zoom in or out on the sheet.
- The checkbox next to the hand icon displays the zoom and navigation control panel.
The + and – buttons can also be used to zoom in or out without using the mouse wheel.
Adjusting the display and applying settings
Depending on the active mode:
Sheet mode
- the first button adjusts the sheet to the window width
- the second button adjusts the sheet to the window height
- the third button applies this configuration to the following sheets
Map mode
- the first two buttons reload the print area
- the third button applies the print area to the following sheets
Selecting the print area
- The first drop-down menu allows you to choose the Plan + Print Area combination
- The second menu selects the background plan to display
- The apply button allows these settings to be applied to the following sheets
Options
This button groups all display settings in a single menu.
It allows you to show or hide:
- labels
- arrows
- legends
- chainage (PK)
- the scale
Each option can be applied to the following sheets.
Optimizing label placement
Labels can be adjusted manually, but their position can also be optimized automatically.
By clicking the corresponding icon, the optimization algorithm can be launched.
In the following window, click Start.
When the best placement is found, the graph turns green.
You can then stop the calculation and close the window.
Inserting a timeline
From the Sheet tab, it is possible to add different objects to the sheet.
To add a timeline:
- select the Timeline object
- drag and drop it onto the sheet
The timeline can then be resized using the object's handles.
By default:
- the sheet period is highlighted
- the timeline represents the entire deliverable period
To modify the color of the highlighted period:
- right-click on the highlighted area
- select Settings
To customize time units (months, weeks, days):
- right-click on the timeline border
- select Add row
- choose the desired unit
The timeline can be synchronized across all sheets using the apply button.
Inserting a Gantt chart
From the Sheet tab, it is also possible to insert a Gantt chart.
To do so:
- open the Insert object menu
- select Gantt chart
- drag the object onto the sheet
Once inserted, the chart can be customized:
- activity grouping
- activity sorting
- adding columns
- adding grids
- adding time scales
Inserting a legend
Legends can also be added by drag and drop from the Sheet tab.
Simply select the desired legend and drop it onto the sheet.
