Seavus Project Viewer Description
Seavus Project Viewer is a professional software application whose purpose is to help you open and read Microsoft Project (MPP) files, password-protect documents, as well as Master project plans.
Supports all views integrated in MS Project
The GUI looks pretty close to the one adopted by Microsoft Project so working with the project plans shouldn’t take much of your time. The familiar layout supports all views available in MS Project.
The ribbon-like interface allows easy switching between the keys features of the program, such as Task, Resource, Reports, Project, View, and Format. There’s support for touch devices and you may easily switch to the touch mode right from the GUI.
The utility lets you choose between several views, such as Gantt Chart, Network Diagram, Calendar, Resource Graph, Sheet, Usage, Relationship diagram, Form, Timeline, and Team Planner. Bar, line and pie charts offer information about tasks, resources and assignments.
Importing/exporting options
Seavus Project Viewer lets you import the information from XLS or XLSX files, Microsoft Project Server 2003/2007/2013, Outlook, SharePoint, Google Drive, or OneDrive. It works with the following file formats: MPP, SSV, MDB, MPD, XML, and MPX.
You may export projects to XML, Outlook, PowerPoint, or HTML files. In addition, you can print or send data via email.
Project management options
The application reveals at-a-glance overview with all completed and remaining tasks via a Dashboard. Plus, you can check out the actual working and remaining hours, status of all resources (actual, remaining and baseline work), as well as cost variance for the project’s tasks and resources.
The compare feature comes in handy for project members that need to visualize the project’s changes, compare different project versions, or revise data.
Different time periods can be used for presenting your Workload report. Resource and Time Usage can be revealed in days, weeks, months or quarters. Task filters can be applied for sorting out the information by completed tasks, cost over-budget, date range, incomplete tasks, milestones, attachments, deadlines, and other criteria.
The best part about this tool is that it doesn’t require server installation, so team members can easily share task progress. Plugin support is also on the feature list for enhancing the overall functionality of the app. For example, you can install a plugin for allowing project managers to access or reject reported task progress.
Configuration settings
The program offers you the possibility to select the date format, show custom currency and time units options, specify the folder location for OneDrive and Google Drive, and change the looks of the utility by selecting between different themes.
Other notable settings allow you to provide details about the calendar (e.g. name, default start and end time, number of hours per day or week), configure MS SharePoint Accounts, alter proxy parameters, assign keyboard shortcuts, and customize the commands displayed in the main window.
An overall efficient and powerful app
All in all, Seavus Project Viewer comes with a smart set of collaboration tools for helping teams view and share information from project managers. The intuitive working environment makes it ideal for rookies and professionals alike.
