Setting a start date

Good morning,

Might be a noobie question but I am fairly new to Asta.

I am wondering how to set a line to start on a certain date and not follow the logic.

To put it in context, we can have the gas connection completed after we have removed scaffold but the gas company are booked in for 2 weeks after the scaffold. So the logic on my programme says it will happen right after the scaffold is gone, but I want it to say it is happening 2 weeks after. So when I reschedule it brings it back to after the scaffold.

 

Is there any way of telling Asta the gas connection is happening on a set date?

 

Cheers,

James

    The easiest way is to put a "Must Start On or After" constraint flag on the task.

    Be careful of these because Powerproject does not work on negative float.

    while a constraint would work, i would suggest adding an activity with the necessary logic for the 2 week lag such as "gas utility availabe to peform hook-up'
