Enable or disable the new schedule
How can I take advantage of the new schedule?
In version 7.8, the feature that allows you to use this new schedule is disabled by default.
The platform administrator can, if they wish, make this new feature available to users.
Therefore, once the feature is enabled, all newly created projects will use the new schedule by default.
Projects created before version 7.8 will continue to use the old schedule in this version. They will be able to use the new schedule starting with the next version.
How do I disable the new schedule?
For each new project you create, you can disable the new schedule to revert to the old mode.
You can also disable the new mode for all your new projects by adjusting a setting in the platform configuration.
Once your schedule has revenue the previous mode, you will no longer be able to re-enable the new schedule for this project. If you wish to use the new schedule again in the future, simply create a new project.

So you no longer need to click the button Register.
An indicator the upper-right corner of the schedule shows you the date of the last entry. |
By default, dates were calculated manually. scheduling had to be enabled. | scheduling is now natively integrated into the new schedule.
It is enabled by default, making it easier to manage your project.
However, you can enable scheduling at any time for the phases or milestones of your choice using the option Edit > planned. |
Milestones and phases were two separate items. It was impossible to switch between them. | A phase be converted into a milestone (and vice versa) simply by changing its end date. |
Points to Consider
Automatic recording is a new feature in Project Monitor. This is the only place in the tool where it works this way. Get used to it: every action saved immediately, and there’s no button
Cancel for now.
scheduling may come as a surprise. If your phases shift on their own, that’s normal: the scheduler recalculates the dates based on dependencies. You can disable this behavior phase phase from the phase details screen.
The missing features will be restored in the next version. If you can't find a feature you used to use (exports, templates, duplication, etc.), it is temporarily unavailable and will be restored in version 7.9.
