Configuring critical path settings

Critical path settings enable you to set the work week and work hours, which are necessary in defining the schedule for milestones and follow-up of styles. Defining the work days and work hours enables you to compare the working capacity of a user in a given time frame against the demands and deadlines of a particular activity.

    Capacity

  4. Specify non-working days.
  5. Specify the unit of measurement for tasks:
    1. Lead Time
    2. Work Load
    3. Buffer
  6. Click Save.

    The Calculated Averages fields are automatically updated based on the selected Work Day.

    The Task UoM Definition can be set by specifying the Lead Time, Workload, or Buffer.
