How do I set a fixed date or a deadline on an item?

Steps

  1. Open the item.
  2. In Constraint choose: As soon as possible, As late as possible, Start no earlier than, Start no later than, Finish no earlier than, Finish no later than, Must start on or Must finish on.
  3. If the constraint has a date, fill in Constraint Date.
  4. To warn without moving the item, set a Deadline: if the item finishes later, its float becomes negative.
Warning

Must start on and Must finish on pin the item even if its predecessors have not finished: negative float flags it.

Site note

As late as possible only uses up free float: it never delays a successor.
