What you cannot do with Linked Templates:

  • Change schedule sheet properties, activity dates, CBS codes, or activity resources.
  • Delete activities
  • Modify activity name or code associations
  • Modify Scope Management setup

After you link a schedule sheet to a template in this way, users can change dates and other data on the sheet, but they cannot add activities, delete activities, or otherwise change the structure of a sheet. You can only change the structure of the sheet and activities by changing the template and pushing the changes to the project/shell sheets.

Permissions

You do not need to have permission on the destination schedule sheet to update the sheet via a project/shell template schedule sheet. You must have the Edit Structure and Data permission to set up linked schedule sheets.
