Features of The Automatic Scheduler
Choice of Automatic Schedule Generation Methods:
- Schedule forward from user defined Project Start Date or
- Schedule backward from user defined Project End Date
When calculating task dates, the scheduler will observe the following:
- Avoids holidays, non-work days, and non-work hours specified in task Calendars
- Resource loading specified in task resource assignments. Example: A 50% resource assignment for a task takes twice as long to complete as 100%.
- Obeys any of the ten task constraints used (e.g. must start on constraint date, must finish on constraint date, etc.)
- A task's predecessors and their link type and lead/lag value (e.g. Finish to Start, Finish to Finish, etc.)
Calculates and sets the following data fields for each task:
- Plan Start and Finish dates,
- Early Start and Finish dates,
- Late Start and Finish dates,
- task duration (calendar duration)
- Slack (Float)
- Critical path flag for each task
Safety Feature
- Will not reschedule or change tasks that have started or finished.
