Project 2013 Advanced

Lesson 4 - Finalizing a Project

Project 2013

NOTE When you first copy the data to your new project file, all tasks reflect the original project dates. Once you mark all tasks as 0% complete and remove the constraints, the tasks reflect dates based on the current date. You can change the dates by entering a project start or finish date in the Project Information dialog box. Before you copy final data and paste it into a new project, you should open the Resource Leveling dialog box from the Tools menu and make sure that the Leveling calculations option is set to Manual . The procedure may not work properly if this option is set to Automatic . To view tasks with constraints, select the Constraint Type option from the Group By box on the View ribbon , Data group. To view tasks with deadlines, select the Tasks With Deadlines option from the Filter list on the View ribbon , Data group.
