Baseline – It is possible to review Project baseline dates in the Gantt chart.

Scheduling – It is possible to change scheduling type of the activity by selecting the activity and clicking button.

You can schedule activities manually or automatically. By using manually scheduled activities, you can manually schedule the duration and the start and finish dates for the activity and place it anywhere in your schedule. Manually scheduled activity will not be affected, if other activities are changed. By using automatically scheduled activities, based on your input, such as task duration, planned start date, relations between activities, Wiseteam calculates the start and finish dates for activities. If anything about your Project changes after you create your schedule, you can change specific activities or change start and finish dates of the summary activity and Wiseteam will automatically update your schedule depending on the relations between activities and their duration.

In this case, in the timeline, the resources busy time distribution is represented in red because the total time exceeds the total capacity.

Timeline_resourceIf the resource has a combined maximum workload in the resource form, dislays the maximum number of hours per day in the time zone, and splits the resource time assigned to the activity proportionally to each day.

In this case, if the time of the resource herd is assigned to the activity or project does not exceed the total capacity, the timeline represents the availability in green.
