Update the project schedule

After updating tasks (see Update a task), the project schedule must be recalculated to account for the new task information. This tutorial will guide you through updating the schedule for a project in Fusion Online.

Step 1: Find your project

  1. Go to the Workspace section in the left navigation menu and click My Projects.

    • Use the Text Search or filters to locate your project.

    • Alternatively, use the Global Search in the application header to search for the project by name or abbreviation.

  2. Click the project name to open the Project Details view.

Step 2: Update the schedule

  1. In the Project Details view, locate the Update Schedule button.

    • This button is enabled only if you have the appropriate permissions.

  2. Click Update Schedule to open the Schedule Update window.

  3. The Status Date will default to today’s date.

    • If necessary, revise the date to match when the tasks were most recently updated.

  4. Enter a Comment to describe what has been accomplished (or not) since the last update.

  5. Click the Update Schedule button to recalculate the project status, including task times and critical chains.

Step 3: Wait for the update to complete

Step 4: View the project status

After the schedule is updated:
