The user-controlled scheduling feature of this Project online software allows you to create the project schedules without the help of the scheduling engine. If you schedule your task manually then you don’t have to enter the time period of the task. The manual scheduling is more like the way you do it in the excel sheet.
What more, this project management software gives you the option to switch between manually and automatically scheduled tasks. The automatic task schedule approach allows you to just boot in the required information in the project engine, accordingly then it properly programs the tasks as per the calendars, dependencies, and resources assigned to the project.

When you are performing high-level planning, the manual scheduling approach can be united with the Timeline View to develop a phase-level view of the project. These dates are only considered as high-level dates because the sustaining details that decide whether these dates are realistic are missing. The same view can be build using the automatic scheduling approach, though you need to make sure that you key in dependencies and time periods appropriately.
