Configure Activity Date Indicators

You can configure the use of activity date indicators for the Start and Finish dates of activities that have actual dates or assigned constraints. Activity Date Indicators are enabled by default.

To configure indicators:

  1. Navigate to the Preferences page
  2. On the Preferences page, select the Settings tab.
  3. In the Activity Date Indicators section, select one or all of the following:
    • Show Actuals: The Actuals indicator specifies if an activity's Start or Finish date is an Actual Start or Actual Finish.
    • Show Constraints: The Constraints indicator specifies if an activity's Start or Finish date is impacted by an assigned constraint.

      Note: When enabled, hover over the indicator to reveal the type of constraint assigned and its effective date. Activities with two assigned constraints will either have an indicator on Start and Finish, or both constraints will impact the same field. Indicators may be shown on activities in the current schedule, in baselines, and in scenarios.

  4. Save your changes:
    1. Select Save.
    2. In the Preferences panel, select Close.
