Enter the plan title and other properties


The scenario: You want to record top-level information about the new book launch
plan. These details don’t affect the overall schedule, but they relate to important
supplemental information you want to keep in the plan. Continuing in the Simple Plan
plan, perform the following task:

1. Give the Simple Plan the following properties:


• Subject: New book launch schedule
• Manager: Carole Poland
• Company: Lucerne Publishing
• Comments: New children’s book for spring release
2. Review the Gantt Chart view for this plan and, in the timescale, locate the
vertical currentdate line and the date for the morale event you created in the
previous section.
Notice that the morale event is shaded the same way as other nonworking time in the
timescale.

Tip
If you do not see the shading for nonworking time, check to make sure you are viewing the timescale by days
instead of by weeks or months.
