Task Constraints

Constraints are the rules set on the tasks which help you to force the start or finish dates of the task. The advantage of entering constraints is that Celoxis does not allow the schedules to conflict with the specified Constraints and warns you accordingly, thereby avoiding any overlapping of tasks. The following constraint types are supported: 

As Soon As Possible (ASAP)
When you set ASAP constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the start date of such tasks to start on the project start date i.e start date of a task with ASAP constraint = start date of the project.

As Late As Possible (ALAP)
When you set As Late As Possible constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the task to start as late as it can (Project's planned finish date) without delaying subsequent tasks.
 

Must Start On (MSO)
When you set MSO constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the task to start on a specific date. Once you select this constraint type MSO, your tasks will start on the specified date and no other scheduling or dependencies would affect it.
 

Must Finish On (MFO)
When you set the MFO constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the task to finish on a specific date. Once you select the constraint type MFO, your tasks will finish on the specified date and no other scheduling or dependencies would affect it.
 

Start No Earlier Than
When you set Start No Earlier Than constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the task to start on a specific date or after a specific date.
 

Start No Later Than
When you set Start No Later Than constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the task to start on a specific date or before that specific date.
 

Finish No Earlier Than (FNET)
When you set FNET constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the tasks to finish on a specific date or after that specific date.
 

Finish No Later Than (FNLT)
When you set FNLT constraint for your tasks, Celoxis schedules the task to finish on a specific date or before that specific date.
