Contextual Help - Administration: Task Calendar (Weekly View)

The Task Calendar (weekly view) is useful to get a weekly perspective of all tasks that start and/or end on the selected week, for all projects. The tasks are divided on a per-day basis.

This window has 4 parts: the title bar, the search bar, the week navigation bar and the list of tasks divided on a per-day basis

  • The title bar tells you where you are in AceProject.
    • The Export link opens a window that allows you to export the list of tasks that is displayed on your screen. Export is available in two formats: CSV and pure Excel.
      • The following options can be set when exporting:
        • Column Delimiter (separate items with a comma, a semicolon or with tabulation).
        • Decimal Symbol (dot or comma)
        • Date Format
        • Export On-Screen Columns Only (un-checking this box will export hidden columns as well).
        • Remove HTML Tags (un-checking this box will export all HTML code that may have been used for text formatting).
    • At the end of the title bar you will find the link to contextual help.  
    • The total number of tasks in the selected week is displayed next to the page title. 
  • The search bar lets you filter which tasks to display. Simply select one or more criteria from the drop-down lists and click Apply Filter
