Change Data Date options

Determines how the data date will be set for projects running the scheduled service.

Choose from one of the following three valid options.

Use project's current data date option

Uses the project's current data date. This is the default option.

Use project's current data date + n days option

Uses the project's current data date plus an additional number of days (n) you specify. Valid entries include whole numbers from 1 to 99. In calculating this new data date, P6 considers one day equal to 24 hours and uses a standard seven day calendar.

Use service's run time option

Uses the date and time the service runs as the new data date.

Use this project's settings field

Enables you to select the project which will determine the schedule or resource leveling settings to apply to the service when it is run. This field is only available for schedule or level services.

Tips

  • You cannot modify the Service Type if projects are already scheduled for the service. If there are no projects in queue, the list is enabled.
  • When applying actuals, scheduling, and leveling, if a change would result in a new data date set before a project's planned start date, the service skips that particular project and logs an error.
  • When applying actuals, if a change would result in a new data date set before the project's previous data date, the service will run and logs only a warning.
