Mass Update Project Task Dates

Mass Update Project Task Dates

Create a project with project plan tasks, task resources, or a task-level resource forecast.
Security:
  • Manage: Project Plan
     domain in Project Tracking functional area.
  • Manage: Project Resource Forecast
     domain in the Projects functional area.
  • Manage: Project Task Resources
     domain in the Projects functional area.
You can update start and end dates or hourly allocation dates simultaneously across:
  • Project tasks.
  • Task resources.
  • Resource forecast lines at the task-level.
Mass updating improves the reliability of dates throughout a project and the accuracy of your resource allocations.

    1. Click the
      Project Plan
       tab.

  4. (Optional) To mass update the resource forecast:
    You can only update resource forecasts that use project plan tasks for the forecast level view.
    1. Click the
      Resources
       tab.
    2. Select the
      Resource Forecast
       report.

When you have potentially impacted dates or hourly allocations, Workday displays 1 of these tasks:
  • Mass Update Task Resources
    : Displays when date changes on the project plan tasks impact the dates on the task resource lines.
  • Mass Update Resource Forecast
    : Displays when date changes on the task resources impact the hourly allocations on the resource forecast line.
From the resource plan, synchronize the start and end dates between the resource plan lines and the task resource lines.
