Asta Powerproject - Drawing multiple tasks on a bar
- Position the mouse pointer so that it is over bar 1 and slightly later than the existing task on bar 1.
- Press and hold down the left mouse button, then drag the cursor to the right to draw another task on the same bar:
- Release the mouse button when the task is two days in length.
- Click away from the task to deselect it.
Where you have more than one task on a bar, you can choose to display the bar in one-task-per-line mode:
- Click the + symbol to the left of the spreadsheet on bar 1:
Notice that each task is now displayed on its own line. As the bars in the project were not displayed in one-task-per-line mode when you created tasks on them, the names that you entered relate to the bars. Where you have more than one task on a bar, you can name each task individually when in one-task-per-line mode.
- Click in the Name column and name the task on bar 1 Site Planning 1 and the task on bar 2 Site Planning 2.
- Click the - symbol to the left of the spreadsheet on bar 1 to turn off one-task-per-line mode:
You will now rename the bars in your project. Rename the four bars as follows:
- Site Planning.
- Fabrication.
- Construction.
- Completion.
