Configuring a Default Database for All Task History

You can configure a Default Database that will save the historical data from all Tasks in a project. After you do, when you create a new Task worksheet, you can choose either to use the Default Database or to configure a new database for that specific worksheet.

To configure the connection settings for the Default Database:
  1. On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Settings group, click Options. The Project Settings dialog is displayed.
  2. Click Configure. The Default Database Configuration dialog is displayed.
