Enter Activity Status Information

Video

Use the Status detail window to designate activities as In Progress or Completed, update Start and Finish Dates, and update an activity's Expected Finish Date.

To configure activity status information:

1. Navigate to the Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project or  Program, and then select a project or a program from the list.
   2. From the  Main Menu, select  Schedule, and then select Activities.
2. In the table, select the activity.
3. On the Layout menu, select  Activity Details, and then select the Status detail window.
4. In the Activity Status section, complete the following fields:
   • Start: To enter or update the activity's start date, enter a date. To designate the activity as in progress, select the check box. The start date is now considered the actual start date, and the activity status is In Progress.
   • Finish: To enter the activity's finish date, enter a date. To designate the activity as completed, select the check box. The finish date is now considered the actual finish date, and the activity status is Completed. If an activity is marked complete, you cannot update the activity percent complete or expected finish fields.
   • Activity Percent Complete: Enter the percentage of work performed on the activity. If the activity's percent complete type is Duration, Units, or Scope, updating this field will also modify the corresponding duration, unit, or scope values. If the type is Physical, the percent complete can only be modified using this field.
   • Expected Finish: Set the date on which you anticipate work on the activity will finish. If no Expected Finish Date is assigned, the date will default to the Remaining Early Finish date and time.
5. All changes made to this page are saved automatically.

Tip

• When activity date indicators are enabled, the Gantt chart and the Activities Table displays indicators for the Start and Finish dates of activities that have an actual start date, actual finish date, or assigned constraints. See Configure Activity Date Indicators to enable indicators.
