Align Time-phased Dates Wizard

To align the time-phased dates, you must complete the information required on each page of the Align Time-phased Dates wizard.

Use the Align Time-phased Dates wizard when there is a change in the fiscal calendar of a project. You should create a new calendar with the new dates and assign it to the project before running this wizard.

You secure access to this wizard, click Tools > Align Time-Phased Dates in the EPM SA tool.

This Align Time-phased Dates wizard will adjust the time-phased resource records on the project and align them with the new calendar. Take note of the following before you run the wizard:

  • The original and current calendars must have the same number of periods; otherwise, Cobra will display a warning message and the process will not run.

  • You cannot move a period date earlier than the end of the previous period, or later than the end of the following period. If you do, Cobra will display a warning message and will not change any project data. For example, you have an original calendar with the last three periods as follows:

    30 Sep 2002

    30 Oct 2002

    30 Nov 2002

Assuming you change 30 Oct 2002 to 02 Dec 2002 and 30 Nov 2002 to 10 Jan 2003. The new date for 30 Oct 2002 is past the date for the following original period: 30 Nov 2002. In this scenario, the Align Time-phased Dates process will not continue and Cobra will display a list of invalid dates in the log.
