Adding and Deleting Task Suspensions

At this time, you can only have a single suspension of a task. If you need more than that, break the task down into multiple tasks.

To add a suspension to a task, you perform the following steps:

1. Open the project by selecting it from the Project list. Then, in the Project window, click the Gantt

   button.

   

2. In the Gantt Chart, highlight the task to be split. Use the right click context menu selection split or click the Split button on the toolbar / ribbon bar.

   The edit details screen opens to the suspension tab.

   

   The task information containing the details for the suspension is displayed on the left.

3. Make any adjustments.

   They are automatically reflected in the Gantt Chart and the date ranges on the left.

You can edit a suspension by editing the date/time for the starting or ending of the suspension or by clicking on the calendar and making your selection. You cannot enter dates/times outside the boundaries of the task itself.

Once a suspension has been created, you can drag the bounds of the suspension from within the Gantt chart.

With any items in this window, as soon as you leave a field or make a selection the information is saved and the screen is updated.

Delete the Suspension

To delete a suspension, you perform the following steps:

1. Open the Gantt Chart and click on the suspension you want to delete.

   

   The Detail Editing subwindow opens to the suspension.

2. Click the Remove button.

   A confirmation dialog opens.

   

3. Click Yes to remiove the suspension.
