The screen should have the MS Project interface displayed. The major part of this interface are −
Quick Access Toolbar − A customizable area where you can add the frequently used
commands.

Tabs on the Ribbon, Groups − With the release of Microsoft Office 2007 came the "Fluent
User Interface" or "Fluent UI", which replaced menus and customizable toolbars with a single
"Office menu", a miniature toolbar known as "quick-access toolbar" and what came to be
known as the ribbon having multiple tabs, each holding a toolbar bearing buttons and
occasionally other controls. Toolbar controls have heterogeneous sizes and are classified in
visually distinguishable Groups. Groups are collections of related commands. Each tab is
divided into multiple groups.
Commands − The specific features you use to perform actions in Project. Each tab contains
several commands. If you point at a command you will see a description in a tooltip.

View Label − This appears along the left edge of the active view. Active view is the one you
can see in the main window at a given point in time. Project includes lots of views like Gantt
Chart view, Network Diagram view, Task Usage view, etc. The View label just tells you about
the view you are using currently. Project can display a single view or multiple views in
separate panes.

View Shortcuts − This lets you switch between frequently used views in Project.

Zoom Slider − Simply zooms the active view in or out.

Status bar − Displays details like the scheduling mode of new tasks (manual or automatic)
and details of filter applied to the active view.
