Status Section of the Activity Form PageOverview Use this section to add or edit activity status details, if you have the required privileges. Screen Elements Edit dates and constraint link See Edit Dates and Constraints Page of the Activity Form Page. Edit duration and units link See Edit Duration and Units Page of the Activity Form Page. Dates section: Started option Determines whether the activity has started. Finished option Determines whether the activity has been completed. Start Date field The date work for the activity is scheduled to begin. For started activities, this is the actual start date. For not started activities, this is the planned start date until the project is scheduled. When scheduled, the start date field is set to the remaining early start date. Finish Date field The date work for the activity is scheduled to finish. For completed activities, this is the actual finish date. For not started and in-progress activities, this is the planned finish date if the project has not been scheduled. When scheduled, the finish date field is set to the remaining early finish date. Suspend Date field The date work has stopped on a given activity for an unknown, but temporary, period of time. For example, an event might force an activity to be interrupted or resource constraints might put an activity on hold. The suspend date must be later than the actual start date, which the activity must have. Activity progress can resume when the Resume Date is set. The suspend/resume period behaves like a non-work time on the activity calendar or resource calendar for task and resource dependent activities. Resume Date field The date when a suspended task or resource dependent activity is resumed. The resume date must be later than the suspend date and earlier than the actual finish date. The suspend/resume period behaves like a non-work time on the activity calendar or resource calendar for task and resource dependent activities. Duration Percent field The calculation from the original or planned and remaining duration. The type of percent you see depends on the percent complete type you select for the activity in the General section of the Activity Form page. Total Float field The amount of time the activity can be delayed before delaying the project finish date. Calculated as Late Start minus Early Start or as Late Finish minus Early Finish. Constraints section: Primary Constraint field The primary constraint type for the selected activity. Primary Constraint Date field The date associated with the primary constraint, if the activity has a primary constraint assigned. Secondary Constraint field The secondary constraint type for the selected activity. Secondary Constraint Date field If the activity has a secondary constraint, this is the date associated with it. This field is only available if a primary constraint is already entered. Expected Finish field The date the activity's primary resource expects the activity to end. Only the primary resource can edit this field if the activity has started. Duration section: Planned field The expected number of work periods required to complete the selected activity. Actual field The number of work periods spent on the selected activity. Remaining field The number of work periods needed to complete the selected activity. Labor Units section: Planned field The expected number of labor units required to complete the activity. Actual field The exact number of labor units that have been expended or the total cost that has been incurred for the selected activity. Remaining field The number of labor units required to complete the activity. Non-Labor Units section: Planned field The expected number of non-labor units required to complete the activity. Actual field The exact number of non-labor units that have been expended or the total cost that has been incurred for the selected activity. Remaining field The number of non-labor units required to complete the activity. Getting Here From the Workgroup Workspace page:
