Can I update data globally for projects that have assignments with manual future period values?
Yes. However, changing some values globally may cause manual future period values to change or, in some cases, be deleted.
For activity resource assignments, globally changing the Planned Finish, Remaining Finish, and Actual Start may cause manual future period values to change. Manual future period values are deleted when you globally change the assigned Curve, specify an Actual Finish date, or set the budgeted or planned and Remaining Units or Units/Time (Labor, Non-Labor, or Material) to zero.
For activities, globally changing the Actual Start, Planned Finish, Planned or Original Duration, Remaining Finish, or Remaining Duration may cause manual future period values to change. Manual future period values are deleted when you globally change the Duration Type to Fixed Units or Fixed Units/Time, specify an Actual Finish date, or set the budgeted or planned Units/Time to zero.
Are manual future period values considered when I level resources?
Yes. When a project with manual future period buckets is leveled, assignments with manual future period values are leveled in the same manner as assignments without manual future period values.
