Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I want to display the end date as per Free Slack. How to get the date as per free slack. Further, how to move a task to a free slack finish date without using constraints?

Ex: activity A1 takes 10 days to complete; in sequence, activity A2 takes 100 days to complete. If I plan taking up these two activities in different sections of a Highway, say S1A1, S1A2, S2A1, S2A2. 

 

S1A1 completes after 10days and the resources can move to S2A1 on the 11th day. But S2A2 starts after 100days (completion duration for S1A2), so i want to start S2A1 10 days before S2A2. I dont want to use direct date constraint, Any method like ALAP (ALAP is using Total Float) in MSP for that.

Please help!

Regards

Satish

Yup.

 

 

The column you want to insert is called "Free Slack" in MSP

 

You can create a bar with start as "start", and finish as "free slack"
