Dates From Other Objects

Dates from WBS Elements

If network activities are assigned to WBS elements and you have entered dates for these WBS elements in time scheduling, the system will consider the WBS element dates to be constraints (such as "not before" or "not later") in scheduling.

Note

On the detail screen for dates you will not be able to tell whether the date comes from the WBS element.

Activity Dates From Other Networks

If the activities have relationships across networks, the dates from the activities in the other networks become fixed dates in scheduling. Refer to the scheduling error log to find out if there are any schedule conflicts.

Note

The system ranks constraints in the following order:

Constraints from the activity (must start/finish on), actual dates or date from resource planning
Constraints from WBS elements or external networks

Dates in Subnetworks

The time frame of the superior activity determines the dates of the subnetwork. The dates from the subnetwork are used in scheduling the superior network. The total duration of the subnetwork is not checked against the duration of the activity.

Note

The dates from the subnetwork are not transferred to an activity which is part of overall network scheduling.

Note

In the information system you can analyze the dates of the subnetwork together with the dates of the network.
