Add Links and Constraints

Use the Links & Constraints tab to describe rescheduling constraints which can be either links between activities or constraints.

Ways to access

Options

If the option is set, the activity is excluded from rescheduling.

Constraints

Constraints control the start or finish date of the Activity. Possible constraints are:

Placement

The placement decides if the activity is placed as soon as possible (ASAP) or as late as possible (ALAP) within the calculated float.

Start at

This option allows you to delay the start of an activity.

Next Sunday, Monday, Tuesday...: The start of the Activity is delayed to the next day selected.

Position

These options help prevent splitting Activities across multiple working phases or working times, which will ensure that work can be completed during a coherent working phase or working time to reduce planning time and risk.

These options affect the rescheduling process and ensure that an Activity will be moved to the proper place (after all other inputs are considered). If this setting cannot be used, it defaults to Start time, and this is reported at the end of the reschedule process.
