How do you remove a constraint?

RE: constraint

Hi Ranjana

All tasks have a constraint set. You can remove a partial or full constraint by setting the task back to the default Start as soon as possible setting.

To do this double click on the task and go to the advanced tab. Set the constraint type to "As soon as possible". Any constraint date already applied to the task will be removed when you click on OK.

I hope this answers your question - do let us know if we can be of further assistance.

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.
