How do I see if the translation team is progressing as expected?

Question

In Paratext 8.0 (and later), you can:

• See if the work of a translation team is ahead of or behind schedule.
• See whether the current rate of progress will meet the goals of a project.
• See a graph showing the finish date for a project based on current progress.
  
  # From the Project menu, select Progress Charts....

1. From the "Select View" drop-down list, select Forecast Line Chart.
2. From the "Show Book to View Progress" drop-down, select one of the following:
   • All Books – to see progress for the entire project.
   • Current Book – to only see progress for the current book.
3. Optionally: Click the printer icon to print the chart.
4. Optionally: Adjust the beginning point and/or the ending point of the graph. (See instructions below.)

Adjust beginning and/or ending point of graph

To adjust the beginning point of the graph, click the calendar icon to the right of the “Show from” box and do any of the following:

• Click the right-arrow or left-arrow to navigate to a date, and then click that date.
• Click Start of Project to change the beginning point to the date when the project began.
• Click A Year Ago to change the beginning point to a date one year earlier than the current date.
• Click Start of Quarter to change the beginning point to the first day of the current quarter.

To adjust the ending point of the graph, click the calendar icon to the right of the “Show until” box and do any of the following:

• Click the right-arrow or left-arrow to navigate to a date, and then click that date.
