Adding Dates

Hi Leeora

Thanks for the info

If you have entered tasks with durations and dependencies, then they will already have completion dates. What you are trying to do is set deadlines and constraints against tasks, to compare what is going to happen with what you want to happen.

If you double click on a task in the table section of the GANTT chart you will open the task information sheet. If you then go to the advanced tab you can enter a range of constraints and deadlines against the task.

If you enter constraints it is possible to get a scheduling conflict, where a constraint "breaks the logic" of the program. To overcome this, if you click on tools-options-scheduling and remove the tick from Tasks will always honour their constraint dates. As a result, tasks will always remain starting at the earliest time that the projects calculates as possible. If however, this is later that a required date a warning message will appear in the indicators column, allowing you to take stpes to correct this
