Organize Consolidated Projects

When you consolidate projects, the inserted projects may not end up in the order or at the outline level you want them. But the remedy is easy. For the most part, you can organize inserted projects the same way you organize tasks in a task list, by moving them to different locations and indenting or outdenting them.

As with tasks, when you indent a project to a lower level than the project above it, the project above becomes a summary project. Typically, a summary project represents a phase or a subphase of the consolidated project. The summary project displays cumulative information about the projects beneath it.

For information about how to indent, outdent, and move an inserted project or to show or hide the tasks of an inserted project, see Chapter 4, "Breaking Your Project into Tasks, Phases, and Milestones."
