Re: Task bar old location

Yes, the baseline shows where the task had been, but what were shooting for
here is showing the amount that was extended. We need the ability to show how
far the task was extended. The baseline shows how far a task was delayed, but
you don't know the amount of time it was extended.

From tools menu, tracking sub-menu, select save baseline.
From the views menu, select the tracking gantt.

This will show your original plan as the baseline and the current plan as
separate bars.

I would like the ability to show a task's previous dates. Would this be
possible to display it as a faded taskbar? I know this is an exponential
ripple effect, but at least 1 step. This way when a project is delayed we
can
displayed the previous schedule overlayed by the current schedule.
Maybe just the ability to overlay a complete schedule, but faded. All the
schedulers I know try to devise a way to do this.
