What a planner means

Types of tracking layouts is Oracle Types of tracking layouts. Four types: Project Table, Project Bar Chart, Project Gantt/Profile, Resource Analysis. It is a how-to (a catalog page). It is not stored as its own table. It does not create, edit, or delete a relationship. It is not the Tracking object note, not Open a tracking layout, not Create a Project Table, not Activities Show on Bottom, not Resource Usage Profile, not EPPM copied onto Professional, and not Microsoft Project view types.

Oracle does print a how-to titled Types of tracking layouts. Oracle does not print a menu item named Types of tracking layouts. This page prints no menu path. Do not invent View > Types of tracking layouts.

Oracle Types of tracking layouts (Professional):

  • "You can create four types of tracking layouts:"
  • "Project Table: displays project data in a table."
  • "Project Bar Chart: displays project data in a horizontal bar chart."
  • "Project Gantt/Profile: displays project information in columns and a Gantt Chart in the Top Layout window and as time-distributed project data in spreadsheet or profile in the Bottom Layout window."
  • "The Bottom Layout window also includes column data when you display a spreadsheet."
  • "Resource Analysis: displays time-distributed resource usage information in three formats: Gantt Chart, profile, and spreadsheet."
  • "When you display the Gantt Chart or spreadsheet, the Layout window also includes column data in the left pane."
  • "You can use a Resource Analysis layout to examine resource allocation for one or more specific projects and/or total allocation for all projects across the enterprise."

This page fetched prints those four type names in the singular. The Tracking object note quotes a different page that prints Project Bar Charts, Project Gantt/Profiles, Project Tables, and Resource Analyses. Quote both. Do not invent which wording wins.

This page prints Layout window on the Resource Analysis sentence and Top Layout window / Bottom Layout window on the Project Gantt/Profile sentences. Quote both. Do not invent that they are the same pane.

That how-to fetched prints no OK, Apply, Cancel, Save, or Yes. It prints no create-layout steps. Do not invent those on this how-to.

The Tracking window is a different object note. Leave Tracking as the object.

Open a tracking layout is a different how-to. View, Layout, Open. Do not collapse this catalog onto that path. See Open a Tracking Layout.

Professional vs EPPM

Professional — four types as printed: Project Table, Project Bar Chart, Project Gantt/Profile, Resource Analysis.

EPPM web — the Professional how-to page is the source for this note. Do not invent an EPPM Types of tracking layouts dialog. Do not copy Professional four types 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 TRACKING / TRACK / LAYOUT table. Do not invent a view %T. Naming the four types does not write TASK. Layouts travel as .plf. PROJISSU.track_view_id and PROJTHRS.track_view_id are labeled Tracking Layout — a pointer on the issue/threshold, not the layout definition. A Viewer cannot reconstruct that the planner used this how-to.

Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project has Gantt, Usage, and Resource views. Do not map those as P6 Types of tracking layouts. Do not claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.

Don't

  • Invent View > Types of tracking layouts, OK, Apply, Cancel, Save, Yes, or create-layout steps on this page.
  • Collapse this onto the Tracking object, Open a tracking layout, or a Create Project Table / Bar Chart / Gantt/Profile / Resource Analysis how-to.
  • Copy Professional four types onto EPPM.
  • Invent a TRACKING / LAYOUT XER table, or reconstruct the how-to from TASK or track_view_id.
  • Map MSP view types as this how-to.
  • Claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.
