Task tables can be applied to the following views:
| Task table | Description |
|---|---|
| Baseline | Displays baseline dates, work, and costs. |
| Constraint Dates | Displays task constraint information, including constraint type and constraint date. |
| Cost | Displays cost information about project tasks, including cost, baseline cost, variance, actual cost, and remaining cost. |
| Delay | Displays resource-leveling information, including delay, duration, scheduled start and finish dates, successors, and resource names. |
| Earned Value | Compares the expected progress with the actual progress to date for tasks that have resources assigned. It also shows, in terms of resource costs, the actual completion percentage of each task. This table can also be used to forecast whether the task will finish under budget or over budget based on the cost incurred while the task is in progress. |
| Entry | Displays task names and durations, start and finish dates, predecessors, and resources. |
| Export | Displays the task fields that Microsoft Project will export in the MPX file format. Use this table to export a file in the MPX file format. |
| Hyperlink | Displays the web addresses of links assigned to tasks, leading to web sites and intranet files. |
| PA_Expected Case | Used in conjunction with Microsoft Project’s PERT analysis features to evaluate the expected durations, start dates, and finish dates of tasks. |
| PA_Optimistic Case | Used in conjunction with Microsoft Project’s PERT analysis features to evaluate the best-case durations, start dates, and finish dates of tasks. |
| PA_PERT Entry | Used in conjunction with Microsoft Project’s PERT analysis features to evaluate the probable durations, start dates, and finish dates of tasks. |
| PA_Pessimistic Case | Used in conjunction with Microsoft Project’s PERT analysis features to evaluate the worst-case durations, start dates, and finish dates of tasks. |
| Rollup Table | Used with the Bar Rollup view, the Milestone Date Rollup view, and the Milestone Rollup view to optimize the display of rolled-up tasks. You can best take advantage of this table and its associated views after you have run the Rollup_Formatting macro. |
| Schedule | Displays scheduling information, including start and finish dates, late start and finish dates, free slack, and total slack. |
| Summary | Displays basic project information, including task duration, start and finish dates, percent complete, cost, and work. |
| Tracking | Displays tracking information, including actual start dates, actual finish dates, percent complete, actual duration, remaining duration, actual cost, and actual work. |
| Usage | Displays work, duration, and start and finish dates. |
| Variance | Displays schedule variance information, including start and finish dates, baseline start and finish dates, and start and finish variances. |
| Work | Displays work information, including baseline work, work variance, actual work, and remaining work. |
