Scheduling and managing tasks

Once you create a schedule, you can add tasks and milestones and baseline tasks. You can also set and change schedule and task properties as necessary.

Consider the following when creating a task:

• If the new task is created when keeping the schedule summary task selected in the Schedule Manager view, the new task is created following the last task in the schedule.
• If the new task is created when keeping a task or milestone selected in the Schedule Manager view, the new task is created following the selected task or milestone.
• If the new task is created when keeping a summary task selected in the Schedule Manager view, the new task is created next to the summary task.
• If nothing is selected, you can create a task only by using the Task box in the Schedule Manager view. The new task is created following the last task in the schedule.

Use the ScheduleTaskClassNameToCreate preference to specify the type of schedule task that is created through the quick create option in the rich client.
