What a planner means

Hide a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart is Oracle Hide a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart. Double-click the selected curtain. Clear Display curtain attachment. OK. Hide does not delete. If you save the layout after hiding, the attachments stay available for display. It is a how-to. It is not stored as its own table. It does not create, edit, or delete a relationship. It is not the Curtain object note, not Add a curtain attachment, not Hide all curtain attachments, not Display all curtain attachments, not Delete a curtain attachment, not Progress Spotlight, not a text attachment, not TASKPRED, not EPPM non-work shading copied onto Professional, and not Microsoft hide highlight.

Oracle does print a how-to titled Hide a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart. Oracle does not print a menu item named Hide a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart. That how-to fetched prints no View menu, no Layout Options bar, no Hide All, no Apply, no Save, and no Yes. Do not invent those on this how-to.

Oracle Hide a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart (Professional):

  • "Double-click on the selected curtain in the Gantt Chart."
  • "Clear the Display curtain attachment checkbox in the Curtain Attachment dialog box."
  • "Click OK."
  • Tip: "When you hide curtains from a saved layout, the attachments are not deleted from the layout. If you save the layout after hiding the attachments, the attachments are still available for display by all users who have access to the layout."

Add a curtain attachment is a different how-to. Layout Options bar → Attachments, Curtain, Add Curtain. See Add a Curtain Attachment in a Gantt Chart.

Hide all curtain attachments is a different how-to. Layout Options bar → Attachments, Curtain, Hide All. Do not copy Hide All onto this one-curtain how-to.

Delete a curtain attachment is a different how-to. Double-click; Delete. Hide is not Delete.

Curtain is a different object note. Leave Curtain Attachment as the object.

Professional vs EPPM

Professional — double-click the curtain; clear Display; OK. Hide does not delete. No Layout Options bar / Hide All / Apply on that page.

EPPM web — Oracle Working with the Activity Gantt Chart does not print double-click curtain, Display curtain attachment, or Hide. Do not copy this Professional how-to onto EPPM.

Primavera Cloud is a different product. Do not copy it here.

XER

The how-to is not an XER table. Oracle’s project XER map TOC has no CURTAIN / ATTACH / HIDECURTAIN table. Do not invent a view %T. Hiding a curtain does not write TASK. Layouts travel as .plf. A Viewer cannot reconstruct that the planner used this how-to.

Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project can hide a date-range highlight. Do not map that as P6 Hide a curtain attachment in a Gantt Chart. Do not claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.

Don't

  • Invent View > Hide a curtain, Layout Options bar, Hide All, Apply, Save, or Yes on this how-to.
  • Treat hide as delete.
  • Collapse this onto Add, Hide All, Delete, or the Curtain object.
  • Copy this Professional how-to onto EPPM.
  • Invent a HIDECURTAIN XER table, or reconstruct the how-to from TASK dates.
  • Map MSP hide highlight as this how-to.
  • Claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.
