TASK WITH DURATION OF 1 MONTH, BUT CAN BE DONE WITHIN ONE YEAR

Hi Gregory

Thanks for your question.

One way to display a task and indicate how long someone has before it should be completed is to add a deadline date to the activity. To do this create the task as normal then double click on its name and select the Advanced tab.

In the deadline box set the very last date that this activity should be completed. When you click OK project puts an arrow over the date you set. This is generally some way away from the task's current finish. As well as acting as a marker the deadline will also create an alert (a red diamond in the indicators column) if the end of the task ever crosses the deadline marker.

Another approach might be to use a drawing (View > Toolbars > Drawing) such as a dashed line or box to indicate the potential span of time the task could occupy.

I hope this helps, do let us know if you have any further questions and I'll make sure I pass on your message to Anthony.

Kind regards,
Andrew
