Workflow Options

Based On When The Project Publishes

This is the default option and is best used when working towards a scheduled deadline or goal. When you select this option each task inside the template will be scheduled based on the publish date of a project.

Based On When The Project Begins

This option is best used when working from a start date without needing a scheduled deadline. When you select this option each task inside the template will be scheduled based on the start date of a project. Back To Top
