Edit activity dates

The Masterplan pre-configuration phase lets you re-plan the project. You can delay or advance an activity's dates and duration. Because this is a re-planning phase, when you change the dates or duration, the activity's base dates (the dates an activity has when the first Lookahead is generated) are also set to the new dates.

• In pre-configuration you can set an activity's start date and end date to any dates.
• Changing the start date moves the whole activity earlier or later.
• The start and end dates you set in pre-configuration become the activity's base dates for the whole project.
• Changing an activity's dates or duration in pre-configuration does not ask for a delay reason.

Change the dates

1. Double-click the activity bar.
2. Click Edit (the pencil icon).
3. Change Expected Start to move the activity, or Exp. Duration to move its end date. Expected End updates by itself.
4. Click the tick to save.

You can also drag the bar instead: drag the whole bar to move the start, or drag its right end to change the duration.
