Which is the quickest way to enter regular tasks?

RE: Regular items

Hi Kat

Regular events can be quickly entered into your Project by going to the Insert menu and choosing Recurring Task. From the dialogue box that appears you can set up the name, frequency and duration of the repeating event. Project will then create all the events for you and roll them up into a summary line.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
