When I enter a new task and set a predecessor, the start date of the new task is defaulting to the project start date and the predecessor link is being ignored.
This is because automatic calculation is turned off during the installation of cc-Pulse. You can manually calculate at any time by hitting F9. If you turn automatic calculation back on with tools…Options, Calculation Tab, automatic calculation will remain on – until cc-Pulse functions are used that affect the schedule. When the Calculate Buffers function is used, autocalc will be turned off and left off.
In addition, The following options are set when you install cc-Pulse.
Resource Leveling Options:
Automatic Calculation is turned off during installation. If it is turned back on, it will remain on – even during cc-Pulse processing.
Leveling can create splits in remaining work is turned off any time cc-Pulse processing occurs and is NOT turned back on.
At this time, we recommend that the option "Leveling can adjust individual assignments on a task" be manually unchecked. This is found in the leveling options screen. (Tools…Resource Leveling)
Project Options: Schedule
Split In-Progress Tasks may be turned off during installation, but if turned back on will remain on.
