Project Properties
Once you have created a new project, the Project Information dialog will be
displayed. Lets look at the options of this dialog:
- Start Date - This dropdown box displays the anticipated start date of the
project and defaults to the current date. Selecting the dropdowns arrow
displays a calendar for you to select the start date.
- Finish date - This is disabled since the projects finish date will be
calculated from the tasks of the project. The default project scheduling model
used in Microsoft Project is to schedule from the projects start date.
- Schedule From - The default project scheduling model used by Microsoft
Project is to schedule from the projects start date. Another common project
scheduling model is to start with the finish date and work backwards. This is
known as scheduling from the project end date. If you change to this method of
scheduling, the Finish date dropdown become active, allowing you to enter the
projects expected end date.
- Calendar - Microsoft Project supports three types of calendars: standard,
24-hour, and Night Shift. Select the calendar appropriate to your project.
- Click 'OK'.
