Update the Task Duration following a Change in the Task Dates |
|---|
Why Improve project planning with a new setting that allows you to control the automatic change of task duration |
How New setting is introduced at the task level , called ‘Calculate Duration’, allowing you to decide whether to change the task date or change the task duration as a result of a date change. - When this setting is set to ‘No’ or not set, the behavior remains as before:
- When modifying the Task’s ‘Start Date’ the system automatically modifies the Task’s ‘End Date’ accordingly, and vise versa.
The Task’s Duration remains constant.
- When this setting is set to ‘Yes’,
- When modifying the Task’s ‘Start Date’ or ‘End Date’ the system automatically modifies the Task’s Duration accordingly, and the Task’s ‘Start Date’ or ‘End Date’ remains constant.
Note: When the task is in “In work” state, changing any date will change the Duration regardless of the value of the “Calculate Duration” field. |
Project Gantt Bar Enhancements |
|---|
Why Improve productivity with quick access to more information in the tooltip in Project Gantt Chart |
How Task Tooltip now includes more information when working on project in Gantt Chart view - When you stretch or move the task bar in the Gantt chart, the tooltip now also includes the ‘Estimated End’ date in addition to the ’Estimated Duration’ and ‘Estimated Start’ date already displayed.
 New command ‘Hide/show “%Complete’ is introduced, allowing you to decide if to show or hide the % complete of the task in the task bar.

Support for Passive Subtask Threshold |
|---|
Why Avoid schedule conflicts and delays by getting warnings about the possibility of passive tasks being delayed |
How Three new columns were added to the ‘Schedule Structured View’ with Passive Tasks filter: - Warning Level (Days) – You define the number of threshold days between the passive subtask's estimated completion date and the parent task's estimated start date.
- Status – Displays a calculated value and an icon which helps you to identify if the passive task might be late and impact the parent project schedule:
- The status calculated value is the number of days between the passive subtask's estimated completion date and the parent task's estimated start date.
- The icon indicates the threshold level based on the threshold value of days that you enter in the Warning Level and the status calculated value.
- Red icon - If the passive task’s estimated end date is after the parent task’s estimated start date and the passive task is not completed. (The status calculated value is negative)
- Orange icon - If the status calculated value is less than the warning level value (threshold), but not negative and the passive task is not completed. In this case, a recovery is possible.
- Green icon - If the status calculated value is bigger than the warning level value (threshold), and the passive task is not completed.
- Criticality - You define whether the passive subtask that is within the warning level threshold is considered Minor or Major.
