Impact of switching scheduling modes
You can change a task back and forth from manually scheduled to automatically scheduled. However please note the changes that will apply in each case.
- Changing auto scheduled task to manually scheduled:
- Existing Constraint (Type and Date) are removed.
- Schedule Type will be defaulted to 'Fixed Duration'.
- Dependencies will remain. They will be 'FYI' only.
- Fields like Duration, Constraint Type, Constraint Date, and Schedule Type will not be visible from Edit Task Popup. If you add these columns to gantt, they will be non-editable and their values will not impact scheduling.
- Changing manually scheduled task to auto scheduled:
- Task will get rescheduled as per auto logic.
- Fields like Duration, Constraint Type, Constraint Date, and Schedule Type will be visible from Edit Task Popup.
- Constraint Type will be 'ASAP'.
- Schedule Type will be 'Fixed Duration'.
