SmartColumn Summary Level Value Roll-up

Numbers in a Values SmartColumn, ValueSet SmartColumn and Calculation/Indicator

SmartColumn can be automatically summed and displayed on summary task levels.
Summary bars (see Chapter 4) must be drawn for the values to appear, as instructed
below.
To automatically total lower level values on summary rows:
1. Choose Layout | Other | Summary Bar Settings.
2. Select Compute Rolled-Up Values for Value/Calc SmartColumns.
3. Under When to Draw choose Always to have Milestones draw summary bars.

Currency and Numbers Format

When a schedule is initially created and saved, the currency and number formats
(based on Regional and Language Options) are saved and carried with the schedule.
Thus, if numbers are originally set to display with a comma as the grouping symbol,
then they will continue to display as such, even if the schedule is displayed on a
system where the default separator is a period.
For example, if a Milestones user in the UK who is using pounds for currency sends
a Milestones schedule to someone in the United States who is using dollars for
currency, then the Milestones schedule will retain the pounds setting.
In previous Milestones versions, numbers displayed in Values SmartColumns and
ValueSet SmartColumns did not display grouping separators, such as commas. To
retain this setting found in previous versions, choose Tools | Program Options
| General, and uncheck Use current regional settings to format numbers.
Unchecking this default setting will, for example, display a number as 10000 instead
of 10,000.

Number and currency settings apply to the current schedule only.

Settings | Number Format.
