Archived Start, Finish, Workdays and Duration
Archived task start date.- QuickPlan supports to archive the start, finish, and duration of all the tasks simultaneously.
- QuickPlan does not support to update the archived data of a specific task.
- QuickPlan supports to display the active task data in the outline list in colorful by comparing to the archived data.
- Normally we can use the archived fields as a simple baseline solution.
