    1. Choose between Automatic and Manual calculationto define the working times of the related work packages.
      • Automatic calculation   when using automatic calculation, all existing constraints will be replaced by a “Start as soon as possible” constraint. The activities and milestones are allocated in accordance with the planned start date from the planning settings (under “Direction”), independently of the project start date on the management page.
        If backwards planning is being use, all existing constraints will be replaced by a “Finish as late as possible” constraint. The activities and milestones are allocated in accordance with the planning end date from the planning settings (under “Direction”), independently of the project end date on the management page.
      • Manual calculation  manual calculation takes the start date as the basis for the first element in the planning. All subsequent elements will reflect the structure of the template.  In order to do this, all constraints in activities and milestones will be removed and replaced with a “Start On” constraint. The automatic planning functions are not used.
    2. Define the Start date as well as Work times for the planning elements if you have chosen the manual calculation.
    3. Select the Load resource data check box to load the resource information of a planning.
    4. Deactivate the Remove completion data check box, if you don't want to see progress information and resources in your planning.
    5. Click OK.
