Mark Task as Milestone

Milestone

PRTask:

PRISMILESTONE

In Microsoft Project, any task can be flagged a milestone as a means to drive Gantt bar rules. For example, drawing the diamond and other features such as filtering. Microsoft Project automatically sets this flag when a task acquires zero duration.

Calendar

You can use them in Microsoft Project, but the list of available calendars comes from CA Clarity PPM.

Task Type

Fixed Duration

PRTask: PRISFIXED

All types in Microsoft Project are supported. In Microsoft Project:

• Fixed duration task type maps to True
• Fixed unit and fixed work maps to False.

Effort Driven

No Mapping

Tasks flagged as Effort Driven in Microsoft Project take more processing.

If there are many tasks, system memory requirements and performance can degrade noticeably.

Constraints

The constraints defined in Microsoft Project are stored in CA Clarity PPM, but you cannot edit them from Schedule Connect.

Microsoft Project automatically sets the Start No Earlier Than constraint to hold a task start date. If you add a Start No Earlier Than constraint and Microsoft Project then adds a later Start No Earlier Than constraint to hold a task start date, the saved Start No Earlier Than constraint is not set.

Constraint Type

No CA Clarity PPM user interface field available

PRConstraint: PRTYPE

When opening the project in Microsoft Project, if multiple constraints in CA Clarity PPM exist for a task, the first constraint encountered is processed.

Constraint Date
