Shift Dates on a Gantt Chart

If you have project modification rights, you can shift dates for WBS elements by moving Gantt bars on the Gantt chart.

This option is available only if the Resource Planning module is activated.

To shift dates on the Gantt chart:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Hubs > Projects > Plan.
  2. On the Schedule tab of the Plan form, select the project for which you want to view the Gantt chart.
    You can also change plan dates or assignment dates on the Labor tab of the Plan form.
  3. On the Actions bar, click Check Out.
    If someone else checks in the plan while you are moving the Gantt bars, you are notified that the plan has been checked in and your changes will not take effect.
  4. Expand the structure to display the plan rows for which you want to shift dates.
  5. Move the cursor over the Gantt bar that you want to shift until the open hand cursor displays.
  6. Left-click the mouse on the Gantt bar, drag the bar right or left on the chart, and release the mouse button.

    As you drag the bar, updated Plan Start and Plan End dates display on the left grid and all planning grids for the project. If the selected element impacts any parent or child levels, those dates also shift. The Duration value stays the same. When you release the mouse button, a completion message displays at the top of the page.

    If the selected element has any dependencies, those dates also shift to reflect the new plan dates that are enforced through the dependency. For example:
    • Task A has a Finish-to-Start (FS) relationship with Task B. Task A also has a Finish-to-Finish (FF) relationship with Task C. If you move Task A out 4 days later, then Task B shifts to start 4 days later and Task C shifts to end 4 days later.
