Configuring General Scheduling Options

Configure general scheduling options to define general defaults used when scheduling projects.

To configure general scheduling options:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Projects and click Activities.
  2. On the Activities page
    1. Click Schedule....
    2. In the Schedule dialog box, click the Settings tab.
    3. On the Settings tab:
      • Select or clear the options.
      • If your selections enable a field or list, enter a value or select an option from the list.
      • Click Save.

Tip

  • When multiple projects are open, the scheduling options that display by default are the options defined for the first project listed.
  • Activities whose float does not exceed the value you specify in the Total Float less than or equal to field are considered critical. The value you specify in this field is automatically converted to hours, regardless of your Display Durations in display setting in My Preferences.
