Change a project's dates
Update the start, target completion and installation dates for a project.
A project's dates frame its phases. Phases that follow on from the start date move when you change it.
Before you start
- You need permission to edit projects.
- Check that the phase list on Schedule looks right before you save. If it shows No phases yet on a project you know has phases, do not save. Ask an admin to make the change, or to add you to the project team first.
Steps
- Open the project and click Settings.
- Choose Schedule.
- Under Project timeline, change the Start date, Target completion or Installation date.
- Click Save changes in the bar at the bottom of the section. Discard throws away every unsaved change in this section, including phase edits.
What happens next
- Phases linked to the start of the project move with it.
- The overview's Milestones card and the project's health use the new dates.
Good to know
- Installation date is required. It can't be before the start date or after target completion.
- Manage on the overview's Milestones card also opens this section.
