Hierarchy of schedules
If a task is assigned to a user who is associated with a schedule, and resides on a project which is associated with a second schedule, you have at least 2 schedules that could potentially be applied to your timeline calculations.
The order in which the schedules are used by the system when more than one exists is:
-
When one user is assigned to a task, Workfront uses either one of the following schedules, as defined in the Project Preferences area of Setup:
-
The schedule of the user who is assigned to the task
-
The schedule associated with the project.
For more information about personal time, see Configure personal time off.
-
-
When multiple users are assigned to a task, and the users have different schedules during the time frame of the task, Workfront uses either one of the following schedules, as defined in the Project Preferences area of Setup:
-
The schedule of the user who is designated as the Primary Assignee
-
The schedule associated with the project.
For more information about project preferences, see Configure system-wide project preferences.
-
-
If the user assigned to the task has no schedule, or the task is assigned only to a job role, a team, or is unassigned, Workfront uses the project schedule for the timeline calculations.
-
If the user assigned to the task has no schedule, or the task is assigned only to a job role, a team, or is unassigned, and the project has no schedule, then Workfront uses the schedule in the system designated as the Default Schedule for timeline calculations.
