Set the Data Date for a Project

The data date is the progress point, or "as-of date," for activities in the project. Project status is up-to-date as of the data date.

The data date is also used for updating the dates of scope assignments and work packages when they are not linked to activities.

Note: Dates will not change after the Data Date is updated for activities or scope assignments unless you run the Scheduler or Modify Dates feature, respectively.

To set the project data date:

  1. Navigate to the project Details page
  2. In the Details section, in the Data Date field, select the date.
  3. Select Save.

This setting is used in the following apps:

Cost and Funds
Dashboards
Reports
Resources
Risk
Schedule
Scope
