Add Important Dates To Your Projects (Premium)

Manage your deadlines and goals for each stage of your Project through our Key Dates.

Using this guide, you can:

 

Select Important Dates for each Project Type

Track all the important dates on your Projects by selecting from 6 Core Dates or by creating your own as a Custom Field. Choose from estimated and/or actual important dates that make sense for each stage of your Project and these will be displayed on the left hand side of your Project as well as on your Project list screen.

Pick a date field that will be your key date for each status

Too many dates can clutter up your view. Select the Key Dates you would like to track at each phase of your Project. For example, choose to display the Approved Date while your Project in the Active Stage to have that always in view while you work or the Client Delivery Date when the Project has been Completed. 

Key Dates Statuses

 

No Value set Key Dates

  

Easily view when a Date value has not been selected on any Important Date Field.

  

 

 

 

Highlighted Key Dates

 

Dates mapped onto the Status are highlighted so you may easily locate the Important Dates important to you at any given point of the Project. 

 

 

 

Our goal is to make sure you know exactly where a Project is - and where it has been. Tracking these dates over time, can help forecast potential delays in Project Delivery and allow you to take the necessary steps.
