Changing the due date or expected duration of tasks

When you change the due date of a task, you can choose to notify the assignees about this change. By doing so, you can make sure that they prioritize their work properly and deliver it on time.

Procedure

  1. Go to Assignments > Projects: <name>, click the name of the appropriate project, and then select the tasks whose due date you want to change.
  2. Select More Options > Task Options > Change Due Date.
  3. In the Change Task and Step Due Dates dialog box, select Set Expected Duration or Set Due Date, and then enter the expected duration of the tasks or task steps (in days or hours) or their due dates (by clicking the calendar icon).
  4. Choose whether or not you want assignees to receive automatic email notifications.
    By default, assignees receive an automatic email notification after you change one or more due dates. If you do not want them to receive automatic email notifications, clear the Send email to assignees check box.
  5. Click OK.
