Changing the Duration for an Activity

To change the estimated duration for an activity, follow these steps:

1. Click on Planner on the left sidebar and select Staff Planner or Resource Planner.
2. Select an activity that you wish to change and drag the small gripper icon at the start or end of the activity to adjust the start date or finish date of the activity.  This will change the duration of the activity.
3. The activity will be automatically updated with the new start date, finish date and estimated duration.

Tip: The tooltip is updated as you resize the activity so you can see the start date, finish date and duration of the activity.

Tip: Whilst resizing an activity's duration with your mouse, the start date and finish date will be blocked to the cell's boundary (either day, week, month or year).  If you wish to have more finer control and choose the exact day or time for your activity, then hold down the SHIFT key whilst dragging and the blocking is turned off so you can choose your preferred day or time within a cell.
