    Exporting a weekly report with multiple views

    1. In Navigator>Animations, add a new animation and select it
    2. Open the Animation Editor window
    3. In the Animation Editor window, right click and select Generate Timeline
    4. Choose the Start and End dates for your look-ahead and choose the Interval (eg. Every 1 week on Monday)
    5. In the Key Frames box, set Start to 0 and Step to 1. This will create a sheet for every interval in the look-ahead                                           
    6. Open as many 3D windows as you wish and set each one to the desired viewpoint
    7. If you want one of the views to update for every sheet or some sheets, you can set a Camera key frame to correspond with every Focus Time key frame. The other 3D viewpoints will be stationary
    8. In Navigator>Animations, right click the Animation and select Export AVI
    9. In the Resolution tab of the Animation Export window, set Frame Rate to 1
    10. Set the Resolution to the desired aspect ratio of the sheets you will be printing
    11. Enable "Export the animation as a sequence of images with given quality" and set the quality to Super
    12. Select Browse to choose a folder to save all the images to and choose the image type (PNG, JPG or BMP)                                                               
    13. In the Content tab of the Animation Export window, enable all the 3D views and arrange on the sheet                      
    14. Set the desired rendering options
    15. Using the Textual Frames tab, you may also wish to add Text to label each view, for example, a list of Active Tasks. Once the text has been added and formatted in the Textual Frames tab, enable the text items in the Content tab list and move them in the preview           
    16. Press OK to export the series of images to the selected folder
    17. The images can optionally be combined in a PDF file that can be scrolled through one page at a time like a "flip book"
