- │ Lesson 10: Super and subprojects │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- In this lesson you'll:
-
- ■ create a subproject
-
- ■ visit and leave the subproject
-
- ■ expand a subproject into a superproject
-

- Press Spacebar><CMD>
- <XFLD><Ctrl5><XFLD><ENDDEF><CMD><*1404
- A ~subproject~2 is a complete project that fits
- into a larger project (called a ~superproject~2).
-
- We recommend that you use subprojects when the
- ~percent full~2 indicator at the bottom of the
- screen shows 70%.
-
- Whenever you make a change in a subproject,
- the calculations automatically affect the
- superproject and any other projects linked
- to it.
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Press Spacebar><CMD>
- <XFLD><Ctrl5><XFLD><ENDDEF><CMD><*1617
- I'll get the project you've been working on.
- Wait for the next Tutorial window.

- This is the PERT chart for the HITECH1 project.
- We're going to do some "what-if" planning
- during this lesson. Maybe the changes will
- be so vast that we'll want to return to the
- original plan after all.
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Press Spacebar><CMD>
- <XFLD><Ctrl5><XFLD><ENDDEF><*1413
- To make sure we can return to our original plan,
- let's save the HITECH1 project under a different
- name, say HITECH2. We can make the changes in
- HITECH2. Later, we can remove one project.
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Press Spacebar><CMD>
- <XFLD><Ctrl5><XFLD><ENDDEF><*0513
- To save a project, you can
- use a speed key.

- <XFLD>HiTech2<XFLD><ENDDEF><CMD><*0512
- Before saving your project,
- HTPM will warn you that
- you're not saving
- resource allocations or
- subprojects. That's not
- a problem at this stage.
- ──────────────────────────
- Press F10 twice><CMD>
- <XFLD><F10><F10><XFLD><ENDDEF><CMD><*1314

- Press Spacebar><CMD>
- <XFLD><Ctrl5><XFLD><ENDDEF><CMD><*1316
- Suppose you found someone
- to build your booth for the
- show. You could create a
- subproject for the booth.
