Stripboard

The Stripboard tab displays all Breakdown Sheets in your Schedule as Strips that can be rearranged to find the most efficient order for executing your project.

Your Schedule file can have as many Stripboards as needed. Each Stripboard is a different arrangement of all the Strips (Breakdown Sheets). You may use this to evaluate different scenarios or to keep Strips organized and sorted for easier review.

Work with customizable field arrangement and field sizing using the RESIZE option in the screen header. Drag the margins to reset.
