Resource Sheet Defaults

- Date From: Enter a default start date for the timeline display on all resource sheets at the company level. This default does not prevent entering transactions before this date. Actual start date of the timeline will be driven by the earliest applicable transaction date (for booking, assignment, allocation, etc.).
- Date To: The latest applicable transaction date.
