  1. Save changes to my Task list every time a change is made in the Gantt chart: Select this option to save selected changes immediately. If you do not select this option, Save and Refresh are available on the menu. Refresh will undo your changes from the last time that you saved. Save will save the new changes.

  2. Do not show warning message when users click the Save button: You will see this option disabled if you have checked the box in Step 1. If you deselect that check box, then you can see this box enabled and select it so that users receive a warning message each time they click the Save button.

  1. Show the Recalculate button: Select this option to display the Recalculate button on the Task Master toolbar. Clicking Recalculate allows Task Master to recalculate and adjust your schedule after you make changes or add new tasks.

    NOTE: You can disable the Recalculate button in order to turn off Task Master calculations and applied business rules.

    To disable the Recalculation button, deselect Show the Recalculate button. This will remove the Recalculate button from the toolbar menu and Task Master will not re-compute anything until the button is enabled again.
