Field Definitions

Dates and Constraints
Started/Finished
A marked checkbox indicates that the selected activity has started or finished.
 
Start Date/Finish Date
For a not started activity, the date field is the activity's planned start date. For an activity that has started or is complete, this date field is the activity's actual start date.

For a not complete activity, the date field is the activity's remaining finish date. For a completed activity, the date field is the actual finish date.

Tip: If the global preference for date format is set to show time, the calendar pop-up will include a Time field. To use the up and down arrows to select a time, first click on the time element you want to change—hour, minute, or AM/PM—and then click the up or down arrow to make changes.
 
Suspend Date/Resume Date
The dates an activity's progress was or will be suspended and resumed.
Duration/Units/Physical Percent
If the selected activity's percent complete type is set to Duration, Duration Percent is calculated from the original or planned and remaining duration: Duration % Complete = (Original or Planned Duration – Remaining Duration)/Original or Planned Duration

If the selected activity's percent complete type is set to Units, Units Percent is calculated from the actual and remaining units: Units % Complete = (Actual Labor Units + Actual Non-labor Units)/(Actual Labor Units + Actual Non-labor Units +Remaining Labor Units + Remaining Non-labor Units).

If the selected activity's percent complete type is set to Physical, Physical Percent is recorded manually.

Note:
You cannot specify an expected finish date for a milestone, Level of Effort, or WBS summary activity.
