Synchronizing Start and End Dates for All Project Levels
The Contract Maintenance form includes fields that let you specify projected start and end dates and current start and end dates for projects, resources, and resource categories.
If the project has an Estimate or Open status, you can easily assign to resources and resource categories the same start and end dates that you assign to the associated project. (If the project has an Estimate status, you can set projected start and end dates for resources and categories. If the project has an Open Status, you can set the current start and end dates for resources and categories.)

-
