You can calculate task assignments based on three options:
- Start Date and Due Date (the default option)
- Start Date and Work
- Start Date and Duration
These options give you more flexibility when assigning tasks and building schedules. They are located in the tool pane under Dependency Settings.
Use the following table to decide which option to choose.
| Task Type | If Duration is modified | If Work is modified | If Assignment Units is modified |
| Fixed Work Task | Assignment Units is recalculated | Duration is recalculated | Duration is recalculated |
| Fixed Duration Task | Work is recalculated | Assignment Units is recalculated | Work is recalculated |
Calculate resources method: In Task Master (Release 3.5 and above), you can choose how task resources are calculated when resources are added or removed from an existing task. These options give you more flexibility when assigning tasks and building schedules. They are located in the tool pane under Dependency Settings.
