Outline View
The Outline View is MinuteMan's primary data entry screen. A spreadsheet-like approach to entering tasks allows the easy definition of relationships between tasks, and shows "the whole picture" in one view. On the left-hand side you create an outline of your work (also referred to as a "Work Breakdown Structure"). In the area on the right you enter detail sub-tasks (the red and blue-boxes). The top of the screen lists detail information (dates, costs, etc.) for the currently highlighted task. The "flow" of work is typically entered from left to right. Tasks can be moved around, and links created between tasks, using drag-and-drop techniques. The work-flow can be viewed in further detail by switching to the PERT View.
