How to Edit Project Commencement and Completion Dates

How to add or edit the Project Commencement and Completion Dates in the Project Schedule.

Overview

When a project is created, INGENIOUS.BUILD automatically generates a Project Schedule with the Project Commencement and Project Completion milestones. These dates can be edited later from within the schedule.

Note: If you didn't select a Project Commencement and Completion Date when creating the project, a yellow warning triangle appears on the milestones prompting you to add start dates for both.

Process

Understand the system-generated Project Schedule

When a project is created, INGENIOUS.BUILD automatically generates a Project Schedule containing the Project Commencement and Project Completion milestones. The dates on these milestones come from the values entered during Step 3: Project Information of project creation.

Edit the Project Commencement and Completion Dates

  1. Navigate to the Main Project Schedule.

  2. Click Edit in the top right of the schedule.

  3. Click the milestone to edit: Project Commencement Date or Project Completion Date.

  4. Select the appropriate Start Date.

  5. Click Update & Publish to save and share the changes.

Note: Milestones are considered a point in time and not a period, so an End Date cannot be entered. To save changes without publishing, click Save as Draft — draft updates are visible only to you until published.

If the project does not have a Project Schedule yet

  1. Click Create New Schedule at the top right of the Schedule module.

  2. Choose to start from scratch or import a schedule.

  3. The Project Commencement and Project Completion dates are generated automatically. Follow the steps above to assign dates to these milestones.

  4. Click Publish to make the schedule visible to others.

Who can edit the Project Commencement and Completion Dates

  • Anyone listed as a Project Member in the project directory can edit a system-generated schedule.

  • For a manually created schedule, only users the schedule has been shared with can view or edit it.
