Plan User Manual

Sorting tasks

The “Plan > Sort tasks…” menu option may be used to sort the tasks in the task and gantt views by given task fields.

Baselines (saved work/start/end date)

Each task has a saved work/start/end date. This can be used to store a baseline for the task. A baseline records the calculated work/start/end date at a particular point of a project plans life. It is often useful to save a baseline when initially constructing a plan so that it can be compared at a later date when the plan is in progress.

The “Plan > Baseline…” menu option is used to copy the work/start/end dates into the baseline saved work/start/end date fields. This menu provides options for selecting which tasks the saved fields are updated. Just the currently selected task(s) may be updated, all new tasks (those where the saved fields are set to 0), any where the start date is in the future, all tasks in the plan.
