Current Date

Why would I want to change the current date time setting?

RE: Current Date

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your question. One of the reasons you may wish to change the date in Project (Project menu > Project Information) is when you want to update progress (or work complete) on tasks as of a certain date. Project can be set to automatically move any remaining incomplete work to the new current date. This gives you a more accurate picture of how well the project was performing at that date.
Hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
