The Hyperlink field shows the title or explanatory text for a hyperlink associated with a task, resource, or assignment. The Flag1 through Flag20 fields indicate whether a task, resource, or assignment is marked for additional action or identification of some kind. The Fixed Cost field shows any nonresource task expense. The Finish1 through Finish10 fields can store any task, resource, or assignment finish date information. The Finish field shows the date when a task is scheduled to be completed. The Duration1 through Duration10 fields store any task, resource, or assignment duration information. The Duration field shows the total span of active working time for a task. The Date1 through Date10 fields store task, resource, or assignment date information. The Cost1 through Cost10 fields can store custom task, resource, or assignment cost information. The Cost field shows the total scheduled or projected cost for a task, resource, or assignment, based on costs already incurred for work performed by resources assigned to the tasks, in addition to the costs planned for the remaining work. The Constraint Type field provides choices for the type of constraint you can apply for scheduling a task.

The Constraint Date field shows the specific date associated with certain constraint types, such as Must Start On, Must Finish On, Start No Earlier Than, Start No Later Than, Finish No Earlier Than, and Finish No Later Than.

Contact name can be someone other than the assigned resource. The name of the individual responsible for the task.

The Baseline Start field shows the planned start date for a task or assignment at the time that you saved a baseline. The Baseline Finish field shows the planned completion date for a task or assignment at the time that you saved a baseline.

This is true whether the tasks are manually or automatically scheduled.

When you set a baseline, Microsoft Project copies the Scheduled Start dates for a task or assignment and stores them in the Baseline Estimated Start fields (Baseline Estimated Start to Baseline1 Estimated Start through Baseline10 Estimated Start). This is true whether the tasks are manually or automatically scheduled.īaseline0-10 Estimated Start (task fields) When you set a baseline, Microsoft Project copies the Scheduled Finish dates for a task or assignment and stores them in the Baseline Estimated Finish fields (Baseline Estimated Finish to Baseline1 Estimated Finish through Baseline10 Estimated Finish). This is true whether the tasks are manually or automatically scheduled.īaseline0-10 Estimated Finish (task fields) When you set a baseline, Microsoft Project copies the Scheduled Duration values for tasks and stores them in the Baseline Estimated Duration fields (Baseline Estimated Duration to Baseline1 Estimated Duration through Baseline10 Estimated Duration). The Baseline0-10 Estimated Duration fields show the approximated span of time planned to complete a task. The Baseline Duration field shows the original span of time planned to complete a task.īaseline0-10 Estimated Duration (task field) The Baseline Cost field shows the total planned cost for a task, a resource for all assigned tasks, or for work to be performed by a resource on a task. The Active field is also useful when a task or set of tasks is being cut because of a scaling back of project scope.
