WINDOWS | MACINTOSH

= SUMMARY =

When Microsoft Project for Windows and Macintosh levels a resource, it adds a delay to the “delay” field of the selected task. Project uses a delay of one elapsed day by default; this default cannot be changed. However, once the delay is applied to a task, the value can be changed manually.

NOTE: When using later versions of Microsoft Project, the default delay time is one minute.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you want to edit the delay that Project sets for a task, you must edit a task table (that is, Task Sheet or Gantt Chart) to show the Delay Field. Then you can change the delay in this field to a more appropriate value.

If you want to remove the delay that has been added by the leveling process, choose the Options menu and choose Remove Delay.

NOTE: Tasks that have highest priority, an actual start date, or a constraint other than As Soon As Possible will not be delayed.
