Constraints

Hi Lyndsey

Thank you for your question

A deadline simply specifies the point at which a task should finish. If this is missed then a warning appears in the indicators column

Task constraints are more specific, for example they might specify that a task must start on a date, or that a task must finish no earlier than a particular date. In addition the default setting is for them to always honour those dates. In effect, the constraint is "nailed" to the schedule at the point specified and the impact of successor tasks are ignored.

I hope this clarifies matters for you

Regards

Stephen
