### Task Views

Use a task view when you want to enter, change, or display task information.

Task view | Description
--- | ---
Bar Rollup | A Gantt Chart that displays each task as a task bar on a summary task bar. Use this view in conjunction with the Rollup_Formatting macro to see more of your project in one view, while still being able to see each individual task represented on a summary task bar.
Calendar | A monthly calendar showing tasks and durations. Use this view to show the tasks scheduled in a specific range of time.
Detail Gantt | A Gantt Chart view that shows a list of tasks and related information, and a chart showing slack and slippage. Use this view to check how far a task can slip without affecting other tasks.
Gantt Chart | A list of tasks and related information, and a chart showing tasks and durations over time. Use this view to enter and schedule tasks.
Leveling Gantt | A Gantt Chart view that shows a list of tasks, information about task delays, and a chart showing the delay added to tasks during leveling. Use this view to check the amount of task delay added by resource leveling.
Milestone Date Rollup | A Gantt Chart that displays each task as a milestone, with the start date for each task, on a summary task bar. Use this view in conjunction with the Rollup_Formatting macro to see more of your project in one view, while still being able to see each individual task represented on a summary task bar.
Milestone Rollup | A Gantt Chart that displays each task as a milestone on a summary task bar. Use this view in conjunction with the Rollup_Formatting macro to see more of your project in one view, while still being able to see each individual task represented on a summary task bar.
PA_Expected Gantt | A Gantt Chart that shows the expected values for task durations, start dates, and finish dates. Use this view in conjunction with PERT analysis to evaluate a probable schedule based on an expected-case scenario.
PA_Optimistic Gantt | A Gantt Chart that shows the optimistic values for task durations, start dates, and finish dates. Use this view in conjunction with PERT analysis to evaluate a probable schedule based on a best-case scenario.
PA_PERT Entry Sheet | A Gantt Chart that shows the expected, best-case, and worst-case durations for tasks. Use this view in conjunction with PERT analysis to compare the duration values among the various scenarios.
PA_Pessimistic Gantt | A Gantt Chart that shows the pessimistic values for task durations, start dates, and finish dates. Use this view in conjunction with PERT analysis to evaluate a probable schedule based on a worst-case scenario.
PERT Chart | A flowchart showing all tasks and task dependencies. Use this view to examine task dependencies in detail and to create and fine-tune your schedule.
Task Details Form | A form for reviewing and editing detailed tracking and scheduling information about a specific task.
Task Entry | A combination view with the Gantt Chart view in the top pane and the Task Form view in the bottom pane. Use this view to add, edit, and review detailed information about the task selected in the Gantt Chart view.
Task Form | A form for entering and editing information about a specific task.
Task Name Form | A form for entering and editing the task name and other task information.
Task PERT | A network diagram showing the predecessors and successors of one task. In a large project, use this view to focus on the task dependencies of a specific task. A good way to do this is to display the Task PERT view in the bottom pane of a combination view, with another task view, such as the Gantt Chart or the Task Sheet, in the top pane.
Task Sheet | A spreadsheet-like list of tasks and related information. Use this view to enter and schedule tasks.
Task Usage | A list of tasks showing assigned resources grouped under each task. Use this view to see which resources are assigned to specific tasks and to set resource contours.
Tracking Gantt | A Gantt Chart view that shows a list of tasks and related information, and a chart showing baseline (original) estimates and actual data for each task. Use this view to compare the planned schedule with the actual schedule. (You need to save a baseline in order to view baseline bars.)
