Changing the default time period

[Suzette]

Hello to all! Is there a way to change the default time period from "Start"
to Start1? I would like to use the "To Do List" report, however it schedules
from the "Start" vs Start1 (Projected Start). I use ProChain and work with
projected times more thatn scheduled times.

Generally, "no". [Start] and [Finish] in Project are projected dates.
[Actual Start] and [Actual Finish] resemble reality. Once [Actual Start] no
longer = NA, then Start and Actual Start will be identical.

About the best you could do is create a custom formula in [Sart1] to
populate with [Start]. However, that will not change anything that is
pointing to [Start] for information.

Is this some type of Critical Chain approach you are trying?

We use a software called Prochain as an add on to Project. It is a critical
chain approach. The problem I am having is that when I pull up a "To Do List"
the dates are in the past, not the future. Thank you for the reply!!
