Where can I do this?

If you have the required privilege, you can schedule projects in the Projects > Activities page, including the Gantt chart, the activity network diagram, or the Activity Calendar, or in the Projects > Tools page.

For information about setting scheduling options before you schedule a project, refer to Scheduling options.

Notes:

I want to

Schedule all open projects from the Activities page

  1. Open the project or group of projects you want to work with in the Projects section.
  2. Click Activities on the Projects toolbar to display the Activities page.
  3. Click icont to schedule project (F9) on the Activities toolbar.
Note: To schedule a project, you must have the required project privilege. When multiple projects are open on the Activities page, you must have this project privilege for all open projects in order to schedule them. If you do not have this privilege for all open projects, the icont to schedule project icon is disabled.
  1. Choose one of the following options:

Choose All projects use their own data date if you want to schedule all open projects according to the data date currently specified for each open project. Choose this option when the open projects have different data dates and you want to maintain these dates.

Choose Apply selected data date to all open projects when you want to apply the same data date to all open projects when you schedule. If you select this option, click the Calendar icon to select a data date. By default, among the open projects, the application will use the earliest data date as the data date for all open projects, unless you specify a different date. This default date is displayed in the Data Date field, unless you change it.

  1. Mark the Display scheduling log upon completion checkbox if you want to display the schedule log when the job completes.

The schedule log includes errors, warnings, and exceptions as well as basic information about the job, such as option settings and statistics (for example, number of activities by status). The report displays in a separate browser window after the scheduling job completes. You can also view it later from the Projects > Tools page.

  1. To review options, click Scheduling Options.

When multiple projects are open on the Activities page, the scheduling options that display by default are the options defined for the first project listed on the Activities page. When you modify scheduling options, the options are applied to all open projects.

  1. Click Schedule.

  1. To review options, click Scheduling Options. If you change your options, click Save.
