1. Validation within a Project Schedule

 A user is unable to create or update a task with dates outside the project dates in the online schedule. This applies to attempts made in both the Grid Table and the Task Information box.

  

  1. Use calendar – user will notice that dates outside project dates are greyed out, therefore unable to select.
  2. Manually type in date –  the date box will be marked in RED and when user hits enter the date be unchanged, user will need to re-enter correct date. 

 

As a safety net should the system accept an invalid date, a Constraint violation pop-up will appear giving the user options to cancel or accept option to change to projects dates.
