Editing the Project Information Dialog

     

An important part of creating a new project, whether it is done with a blank project or by starting with a template, is editing the Project Information dialog. This dialog contains summary information about your project. This summary information includes the start date, the projected finish date, the calendar used by the project to track working and nonworking time, along with the priority and the project status date.

Edit the Project Information Dialog
