Performing a reschedule

You can choose to reschedule:

The whole programme of projects.
The current view and any subordinate tasks (the branch).
The current view (excluding any subordinate tasks in closed expanded or summary tasks).
The currently-selected task or tasks.

When you perform a partial reschedule, if the tasks being rescheduled have any logical predecessors which are not to be rescheduled, the reschedule assumes that these predecessor tasks are at their correct position and places the rescheduled tasks with respect to the current position of the predecessor tasks.

To perform a reschedule:

On the Home tab, in the Schedule group, click the Reschedule Branch dropdown and select one of the following commands:
- Reschedule Branch - to reschedule the current view and any subordinate tasks.
- Reschedule View - to reschedule the current view (excluding any subordinate tasks in closed expanded or summary tasks).
- Reschedule All - to reschedule the whole programme of projects.
- Reschedule Selection - to reschedule the currently-selected task or tasks.
If the reschedule options are configured to straighten the progress line to the report date of a specific progress period, the Reschedule Progress Period Warning dialog may appear. The dialog shows you which progress period you are straightening the progress line to, and which is the current progress entry period. This ensures that you do not straighten the progress line to the report date of the wrong progress period accidentally.
Change either of the progress periods if required, then click OK to continue with the reschedule, or Cancel to close the dialog without rescheduling.

The progress of the reschedule is indicated by a progress bar in the status line. Depending on the size of the project, the reschedule may take some time.

If you have chosen to produce a reschedule report, it either appears in your web browser or is saved as a log file - or both - depending on the way in which you have configured the report once the reschedule has finished.

You can reschedule to a fixed finish date either by assigning a finish flag or by imposing a project finish date.
