Add a milestone in the Masterplan

Add a milestone to the Masterplan as a sub activity with a duration of 0, then set its date.

You add a milestone (an activity that starts and ends on the same day and marks the start or end of a major piece of work; you create one by entering a duration of 0) the same way as an activity in the Masterplan. The difference is the duration: a milestone has a duration of 0.

  1. Open the three-dots menu of the parent or leaf activity you want to add the milestone under.

  2. Click Add sub activity.

  3. Enter 0 in Duration. This is how you choose a milestone instead of an activity. The app asks "Do you want to continue?" and shows "Entering '0' duration will mark it as a milestone".

  4. Click Yes.

    Prompt that a duration of 0 marks the item as a milestone

  5. Change the dates to when you want the milestone scheduled. You do not need to change Base Dur.: once you confirm the milestone, the app sets both durations for it.

  6. Click the Tick button.
