We are excited to announce ‘Shift Dates’ functionality available on all plans including the Free Plan.
You can now move all deadlines for tasks that have not been started, forward (to schedule for later execution) or backward (to start tasks and subtasks sooner). Completed tasks and tasks in progress will not be affected. Tasks having a start and/or end date will be moved by a specified number of days. To move forward – enter a positive number, to move backward – negative. Tasks and subtasks will be shifted accordingly.
This functionality is available for task lists now. We are planning to add similar functionality to shift dates on a (sub)task with subtasks and for an entire project.
To access this new function, click the actions menu (1) for a task list (2) and select ‘Shift dates (3).
Enter a number of days, and all your tasks and subtasks in a task list will be rescheduled.
Start your next project in two minutes
Freedcamp is free for unlimited projects, tasks and users. No credit card, no trial clock.
Finally is here!! thanks guys!
Is there any way to make it only change the start date? I use the due date as my absolute deadline and even if I change the start date I don’t want the due date to change. My jobs have fixed deadlines that can not be changed.
Hi Nicole,
This is not possible – sorry. It is not clear what to do with it in such case:
Starts 10 ends 20
Starts 15 ends 18
Now you say I want to move the start date 5 days forward
Starts 15 ends 20
Starts 20 ends 18 <<< problem Unless you want to suggest that we should say that such an operation is not possible due to a conflict of dates? Thanks Igor
