Date Misalignment

Dates in the schedule can differ from the dates in the connected plans. This difference usually occurs due to:

• A change in the task date within the plan.
• A change in the activity date when the schedule is updated with a new version.
• A difference in non-working days between the imported schedule and the plan.

Date differences are indicated when a connected task has dates that do not match the linked schedule activity. The indications will appear as an alert in both the plan and the schedule, as well as in the swimlane view, where the misalignment of the range will be visible.

By hovering or clicking your cursor over the "Dates differ across timelines" alert icon , you can see:

• Schedule name
• Activity dates
• All connected plans
• All connected task dates are marked as differing

You may configure the appearance of the alerts in the plan configurations.
