Hello again and welcome back to our course on Project 2016.
In this section I’m going to take you on a tour of the Project workspace and we’re also going to start creating a very simple project. And I’ll use that very simple project to demonstrate key points concerning the Project workspace.
You’ve already seen this Start screen and you’ll probably see this quite a few times during the course. Although as you’ll see a little bit later on you may want to disable the Start screen once you really get used to using Project 2016. You may decide that you can get along perfectly well without it.
Now let me give you a quick tour of the Start screen itself.
Over on the left we have an area which gives us links to existing projects. We have a Recent section. Currently this section is empty. As you can see the note there says you haven’t opened any projects recently. Once we start working on projects you’ll start to see a list of recent projects appear there. And then below that there is a link, Open other Projects, which gives us access to a Windows Browse Dialogue so you can browse your computer, you can browse any network locations you have access to and you can browse Cloud areas, such as your OneDrive storage. Now we’re going to start with a new project so we won’t be using that part of the Start screen on this occasion.
In the top right we have some standard Windows buttons. The little question mark is Help. Note the Screen Tip there. Help and F1 is the keyboard shortcut for that. Then we have Minimize and we have Maximize or Restore, depending on whether your screen is currently maximized or not. And then we also have a Close button. Below that we have my name and the account under which I am currently running Project 2016. This is very important. If you’re the only person that uses this PC and you’re the only person that uses Project on this PC and you only have one account that you ever run Project under then this will always indicate that account. But if, for example, you sometimes use a work account and sometimes a personal account, if you share this PC with somebody else you may want to switch between accounts. Well the facility here, Switch Account, let’s you switch between those accounts. And I’ll demonstrate that to you a little bit later on.
Now let me talk about the rest of the Start screen. And I’m going to say this once more. I won’t keep saying it. You may not see exactly the same as me. It will depend on a number of things. But almost certainly the first thing you will see here is a Blank Project thumbnail. I’m going to click on that in a little while and we’re going to create a blank project. So that’s an empty starting point for a project. But I’m going to run through some of these others first.
If you run projects that have an element of similarity, maybe you do building projects, marketing projects, then you may already have a project that you’d like to base a new one on. And the second thumbnail here, New from Existing Project, enables you to use an existing project as a starting point for a new one.
Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
