The PM window provides the standard editing and viewing functions of a typical project management tool. It can be displayed by invoking the PM procedure or using the Activities window in the PROJMAN application. See Chapter 10: The Projman Application, for details. For an existing project, the PM window is populated with the activities in the project. For a new project, the PM window is empty. Figure 5.2 displays the PM window for one of the sample projects included with the PROJMAN application.

After you have finished editing the project, you can close the PM window to save the new project data in the Schedule output data set that was specified in the invocation of the PM procedure.
