- -> Plans are used to chart the course that a project is expected to follow.
- Each Plan you use will be based upon a Template file set up with EDITX.EXE
- (accessed by pressing ^E in the MAIN MENU). You should establish a separ-
- arate Template for each general category of project you handle.
- -> Each Template (as well as each Plan derived from it) will contain a list-
- ing of the tasks that usually take place in the type of project covered by
- the template. Each line in the template file consists of a task, an ab-
- breviation for that task, the type of task (eg: Deadline or Expectation),
- and notes about that task. Also included is the interval (expressed in
- days) that is expected between that task and the immediately preceding one,
- and the date by which you expect that task to be completed. If the task
- is unrelated to the immediately preceding one but IS related to one of
- the other preceding ones, it's note entry should begin with a backslash,
- followed immediately by the abbreviation of the related task (eg: "\inj").
- If an item is completely unrelated to any preceding one, the interval item
- should be left blank. The notes item may also be left blank, if you wish,
- but every line in the file MUST have both an abbreviation and a descrip-
- tion. The template file may have NO empty lines.
- -> When a Plan is displayed on the screen, one line will be highlighted. To
- select the task that you want to affect, use the arrow keys or enter the
- appropriate ABBreviation.
-
- Plans and Templates are complicated subjects. You should refer to the docu-
- mentation for a more detailed discussion.
