Changing a task due date or expected duration

You can change the due date or expected duration of a project or of individual tasks. This allows translators and reviewers to prioritize their work. You can also run reports using due dates.

Procedure

  1. From Assignments > Projects: <project> > , select the task or tasks (or, to change the due date or duration for the entire project, do not select a task).
  2. Choose More Options > Task Options > Change Due Date.
  3. To change expected durations, select Set Expected Duration. For the entire task or individual task steps, enter expected durations in days or hours.
  4. To change due dates, select Set Due Date. For the entire task or each task step, enter dates in either mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yy hh:mm am/pm formats (or the equivalent format for the Regional Setting you have selected).
  5. Click OK.

Results

The due date and duration appear in the task list.

When the due date passes, and the task step is not complete, the due date is displayed as red text in the task list.
