Rillsoft Project Online Help

Take over start and finish dates of a project from activities

Rillsoft Project allows you to define the start and finish dates of a project during the setup of this project. A project's duration is usually set at a two weeks.
You may use the menu command Take over project start and finish dates from activities to recalculate project dates in relation to a start date of the first activity and the finish date of the last activity.
