How to access the Code Library Properties dialog

To access the Code Library Properties dialog, right-click a code library in Library Explorer or the project view and select Properties.

Explanation of the fields on the dialog

Field	Description
Name	Enter a descriptive name to apply to the code library.
Single select	Select this check box to specify that it should only be possible to assign a single code from the code library to each individual object in the project, or clear the check box to specify that it should be possible to assign more than one code from the library to each individual object. If you select this check box for a code library that previously allowed multiple codes to be assigned to each object, any multiple assignments that have already been made are not undone.
Critical style	By default critical objects are highlighted with a red outline, but if you assign a red code to an object, it might not be clear which objects are on the critical path. Select a different critical appearance in this field to choose a colour other than red for critical marking. For example, if you want to use red task codes in your Risk Factor code library, you could set the critical appearance of that code library to a blue dotted line so that critical tasks with red codes can still be distinguished on the bar chart.

Field

Description

Name

Enter a descriptive name to apply to the code library.

Single select

Select this check box to specify that it should only be possible to assign a single code from the code library to each individual object in the project, or clear the check box to specify that it should be possible to assign more than one code from the library to each individual object.

If you select this check box for a code library that previously allowed multiple codes to be assigned to each object, any multiple assignments that have already been made are not undone.

Critical style

By default critical objects are highlighted with a red outline, but if you assign a red code to an object, it might not be clear which objects are on the critical path. Select a different critical appearance in this field to choose a colour other than red for critical marking.

For example, if you want to use red task codes in your Risk Factor code library, you could set the critical appearance of that code library to a blue dotted line so that critical tasks with red codes can still be distinguished on the bar chart.

... specify whether more than one code can be assigned from the library to individual objects?

Select the Single select check box to specify that it should only be possible to assign a single code from the code library to each individual object in the project, or clear the check box to specify that it should be possible to assign more than one code from the library to each individual object.

... specify the way in which to display the critical path on objects to which a code from the library has been assigned?

Select a style with which to display the critical path on objects to which a code from the library has been assigned in the Critical style field.
