Task Group Reports

The task group report displays information about a selected task group and how it is used in the deconflicted schedule.

The task group report is designed so that it provides information about information about the definition of one task group in such a manner that it may be programmatically parsed using an external application.

Task Group Reports may be created by selecting Task -> Task Group Report, from the Menu Bar, then selecting a task if one is not already selected.
