8.4. Marking projects as completed

To mark a project as completed, edit the Percent Complete column (by double clicking it) and set the value to be 100.

When a project is set to be complete, the Adjust finish dates dialog appears asking the user to enter the actual finish dates of the projects that are being set to be complete. The purpose of this dialog is to give users an easy way of modifying the schedule of the projects to match the actual dates on which they were finished.

In the date entry box for each completed project, the user may enter the actual finish date of the project. To set the same finish date for several projects, select the checkboxes of those projects for which the finish date applies, and then change the date box at the top of the column to the desired date. This date is now applied to all the checked projects.

The schedule of the project is modified based on the finish date entered. If the finish date entered is before the scheduled finish, then the project's schedule is truncated, and the effort adjusted accordingly. If the finish date is after the scheduled finish date, then the schedule is extended and the effort modified accordingly.

In this dialog, the user may opt to adjust the schedule of the completed projects by clicking the Adjust button or ignore the finish dates and leave the schedule unmodified by clicking the Ignore button.
