Set or Change the Schedule Start Date

Overview

Each schedule requires a start date which is the earliest possible date for any automatically scheduled phase/ticket. Setting the start date is therefore the first step when creating a new schedule. If you change the start date later, PlanRadar can reschedule all auto-planned phases and tickets and ask you to shift manually planned ones as well.

Read the general introduction to Schedules to get a basic understanding about this feature.
