Project Planning Performance Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

For each plan, DPS provides a summary section. The contents of those sections depend on the following:

• Which column the data corresponds to: Planned, Baseline, or EAC.
• Whether you select Billing or Cost in For Plans Budgeted at Cost and Billing, Use on the Options tab.
