In NetPoint, there are two general types of objects: planning objects and non-planning objects. Planning objects include tasks, like activities, delays, and hammocks; key events, like milestones and benchmarks; and relation events, like embeds and links. Every planning object contributes to the logic of the network. Non-planning objects, like shades and text objects, do not contribute to the logic of the network and are used to add extra information to the canvas.
