How to shift action bar at the beginning
Hi all,
Sometimes happens something like that:
- I set a link with the previus and following action
- I set a duration
- I force the end of the action (longer of the once previusly planned)
this is the diagram:
Is there any way to shift the bar at the beginning and having the connection line at the end rather than at the beginning of the action?
Thank you
- Dariocg,
When you "force the end" I assume you mean you are directly entering later date in the Finish field. That sets a finish-no-earlier-than constraint on the task and pushes it to the end of the span.
Directly entering dates into either th Start or Finish fields is bad practice because it does set a constraint and that interferes with Project's ability to create a dynamic schedule. If you want the task to have a delay I suggest you insert a lead or lag as appropriate.
John- what do you mean with "insert a lead or lag"? can I have an example?
thank youWow, where have you been for two weeks?
This example shows a 10 day lag on task c and a 2 day lag on the milestone.
