Schedule - Main

• Current State: Indicates the current state of the schedule.
• Title:Displays the title of the schedule. You can change the title in the Details section.
• Number: A string of characters that uniquely identifies the schedule document within the workspace. You can edit the number in the Details section.
• Start Date: Displays the date that work on the schedule should start. You can change the start date in the Details section.
• Finish Date: Displays the date that work on the schedule should finish. You can change the finish date in the Details section.

The Project section displays a simplified version of the information available on the Projects tab. Use this section to quickly view a list of projects currently linked to the document, and to create, read and delete project links in edit mode. Information displayed in the project section is also available on the Projects tab, and any changes you make in the Project section is synchronized with the Projects tab.

Note: Like all other project-related user interface elements, the Projects section is hidden if no projects currently exist in the workspace.

Using the Project section, you can set the current document's project linking status to:

• None: Select to remove all project links for the current document. You can only remove project links if you have the appropriate role security permissions, and your contact document has a link to the same projects.
• One: Select to display a box where you can enter a single project link for the current document. Click the Magnifying Glass icon to display a list of available projects from which you can choose.
• Multiple: Select to display a box where you can enter multiple project links for the current document. Click the Magnifying Glass icon to display a list of available projects from which you can choose.
• All: Select to link the current document to all projects within the current workspace.

The current status of project linking is displayed in the section header so that you can quickly scan project status with all the sections on the Main page collapsed. The document must be in edit mode before you can update information in the Project section.

• Activity Code Group: Click to select the Activity Code Group that you wish to link to the schedule. For more information, see "About Activity Code Groups".
• Calendar:Select the calendar to use for calculating the schedule. If no calendar is selected, the predefined calendar is used.
• Estimated Work Hours: Type the estimated total number of hours needed to complete tasks in the schedule. This field is for information purposes only and is not affected by any values from the Gantt.
• Finish Date: Type the date that work on the schedule should finish. The Finish Date field is required. Once the schedule is saved, this date is updated by the dates in the Gantt and cannot be updated in the Schedule document.
• Managing Company Contact: Click to select the name of the contact managing the schedule. The company of the managing contact is automatically populated.
• Number: Type a string of characters that uniquely identifies this schedule, or leave it blank if Proliance is configured to supply one. You can configure the format of this number by using Proliance Local Admin. For details, refer to "Editing the Number Format" in the Proliance Local Admin on-line help.
• Priority: Click to select the priority code for this schedule document.
• Start Date: Type the date that work on the schedule should start. The Start Date field is required. Once the schedule is saved, this date is updated by the dates in the Gantt and cannot be updated in the Schedule document.
• Title: Type the title of the schedule. The Title field is required.

• CPM Out-Of-Sequence Progress Logic: This option handles how the CPM Gantt distributes work on linked tasks that are overlapping in the schedule. Select Retain Logic toensure that any remaining work on the task still follows precedence logic. Select Progress Override to ensure that work, once started, is completed and unaffected by any precedence logic.
• CPM Calculation Logic: Select this option to calculate the critical path from the start date or finish date of the schedule.
  
  Select From Start to schedule the finish date based on the start date and the effort required for all planning objects.
  
  Select From Finish to schedule the start date based the finish date and to begin all work based on the finish date.
  
  Note: If this option is set to From Finish then the CPM calculation does not depend on or use the CPM Out-Of-Sequence Progress Logic option.
• Critical Path Mode:Select Single to calculate one critical path. Select Multiple to calculate multiple critical paths.

  With this option set to Single, only the one overall critical path whose finish date affects the finish date of the schedule is displayed. Modifying the finish date of any of the secondary critical paths may not impact the overall finish date of the schedule.

  With this option set to Multiple, the CPM sets the late finish date of all the planning objects that do not have successors and constraints to the early finish dates, making them critical.

• Currency: Select the currency for the schedule costs.
• Default Working Hours Per Day: Use this with the Use Default Hours Per Day check box. The value is set to 8.
• Schedule Type: Indicate whether it is a "Regular" or "Template" schedule. A Template schedule is one that can be used as a template to create other regular schedules. When you categorize a schedule as either a regular or a template schedule, you can also use filters to view schedules that fall under either category.
• Show Time in Date Fields: Select this check box to show the time in the date fields. Leave this check box clear if you do not want the time to show in the date fields.
• Use Default Working Hours Per Day: Select this check box to use a default value for the hours per day. The default is 8 hours.

The WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) Codes section allows you to activate and preview WBS lookups for applying a WBS to your schedule. For more information, see "About WBS Codes".

• Actual Work (Hours): Displays the actual work performed in hours, based on the total number of actual work hours in the schedule.
• Current Percent Complete %: Displays the total percent complete for all the tasks in the Gantt.
• Estimated Finish: Displays the estimated finish date for the schedule, based on the dates in the schedule.
• Estimated Remaining Duration (Day):

  Displays the duration that is calculated as
