When an individual task is dependent upon another task's completion, you can click the "Fix invalid dependencies" button in the side menu to fix any conflicting dates.Ĭlicking this button will always preserve the date range (start and end date) of the selected task, and only move tasks that are successors or predecessors of this task. If you want to adjust the duration or dates of a record without affecting any dependent records, press and hold the Shift key while making changes. But if you push it forward by more than 5 days, the successor's start date will get pushed forward so that it starts on the next day following its predecessor's new end date. As an example, if there are 5 days between a record's end date and its successor's start date, you can move the first record forward 5 days, and the successor's start date won't change. When you drag a record to reschedule it, slack or "lag time" between the records will be consumed before any predecessor or successor record dates get changed. For instance, if you change the end date of a predecessor to end later than the start date of any of its successors, the start dates of those successors will change automatically.

Similar to rescheduling a single record, you can also select multiple records at time to adjust their start and end dates.Īdditionally, if you have record grouping enabled in a Gantt view, collapsed record groups can now be dragged and the record items will update within it. If needed you can press the Esc key while dragging to cancel, returning your record to its original date before you started dragging. You can also adjust the dates that a record begins and ends (without changing its duration) by clicking and dragging the bar earlier or later on the timeline. To change the duration of a record, you can lengthen or shorten a record by clicking and dragging on it's left or right edges. This will show an option to "Delete 'x' selected records."

If you are wanting to delete several records at one time, then you can select multiple records and right-click off to the side. To delete a record in the Gantt view you can right-click on the record you are wanting to delete and click "Delete record." The record won't be created until you click the "Save" button.
