View source for Start Date Functionality

::* For the first task in a [[Project]], no predecessor tasks are available, so a start date must be entered. 
::* When a second task is entered with the first task as a predecessor, the Start Date is displayed as a read-only field.
::* To specify a Start Date for a task, select the Override Start Date checkbox to make the Start Date field active
::* Concurrent tasks can be created with the Override Start Date checkbox
::* Successive tasks will start after the previous task ([[predecessor]]) is complete
:::*The Start Date for successive tasks is created automatically 
::* The Finish Date is automatically calculated using Start Date and Duration, excluding weekend days
:::*Duration is always a whole number (no decimals)

:;Automatic Calculation of Start Date for Successive Tasks:If the task Start Date is changed, the start date for successive tasks is recalculated automatically, independent of the Phase

::When a Task has predecessor task(s) in place, the option is available to override the start date, and define a different start date for the task.
