visual progress display on summary tasks

[noam]

hello everybody,
how can i show visual progress on summary tasks? i only get this black line,
with no visual progress on it (as opposed to regular tasks, which have the
progress visually displayed on top of them).
thanks,
noam

Noom,
There are various ways to show a summary progress line but all of them
boil down to these basic steps.
1. Go to Format/Bar Styles
2. Either add a new entry to the bottom of the list or insert a new bar,
say after the Summary Progress bar. Note: bars in the list are in order
of precedence, that is if a bar listed later in the list overshadows a
bar above it, the later bar will be shown on top.
3. Input the parameters for the new bar but I would set the bar shape to
be below center so it doesn't conflict with the summary bar itself. The
"show for...task" should be "summary" and the "from" and "to" should be
"Actual start" and "complete through" respectively.

Hope this helps.

Hi Noam,

Have you checked the Tracking Gantt view? The view has a summary
progress line in it.
