Setting the Schedule Behavior

Use the schedule behavior options to determine the behavior of completed tasks and for task constraints.

To set the schedule behavior

1. Open the Options dialog box.
2. Click the Common tab.
3. Under Schedule Behavior, set the following options:
• Set Complete Flag Removes Remaining Part of Work:Select this option to indicate that once the Completed check box is selected in the task, the remaining part of work needs to be set to zero. If this option is not selected, when the Completed check box in the task is selected, remaining work on task becomes the actual work.
• Finish Constraint Resolving Allows Task Start Moving:If a task's duration increases, this increase may conflict with the task constraint. Select this check box to allow the task's start date to be rescheduled to keep within the constraint. If the check box is not selected, the task duration is cut.
4. Click OK.
