How do I choose how item durations are calculated?

Steps

  1. Open the budget and go to the ST tab.
  2. In Type Duration choose: Performance (duration = quantity ÷ performance, in working days, rounded up), Date (duration = working days between start and finish) or Manual (you type the duration; moving the start moves the finish with it).
  3. Choose the project's Calendar.
  4. Save. This rule applies whenever dates or durations change in the item or in the Gantt.
Warning

With Performance, the duration of items with a performance rate is locked (padlock in the Gantt): change it through the quantity or the performance.

If performance is per hour, it is also divided by the item's Hours Day.

Site note

Only items are scheduled: chapters span their items. Scheduling never changes quantities or amounts.
