You can create detail categories such as Financial Data which might contain

detail items such as Loan Amount or Grant Amount. The details worksheet

lets you create an information model that meets your needs.

If you create a project based on a project template, you can use the project

detail categories and items from an existing project, For more information,

see Creating a New Project on page 313. If you create a new project without a

template, no project details exist.

NOTE Detailed information is saved in the project APJ file in XML format. You can

open the project APJ file in an XML editor in order to edit the detail information.

Project details are not only used in the project APJ file, but are also displayed

as manual properties in the schedule data of a project. You can use the details

to create schedule tables for your project or build title blocks for sheets. For

more information, see Project Schedule Properties on page 521.
