I have a situation where I want to use early start/ early finish dates to
represent the planned start/finish of a task by constraining the first task
in a series where the project is calculated from the project finish, and
everything is allowed to go to ASLAP. Thus the project would be statused
relative to all ASLAP or critical dates for summary progress. (Understand
that this project will grow to 30,000 lines and this is an easy way to
determine critical dates, also the majority of work is in planning package
form). The problem is when progress is made on the first task ahead of time
the early work not completed is pushed to ASLAP so that early finish = finish
which is incorrect if allowing the task to be split (thus losing all of my
planned info) and if the task is not split the tasks are statused relative to
the in progress task, which is also something I do not want. Should I
customize a field? If so how? The only thing I can think of is to baseline
the planned info and to update accordingly Thanks ahead of time.
