If dates are ignored; tasks further down the tree will have the same almost the same value as their parents. If the sliders are in the neutral position. If dates are applied to any task; task below that will have slightly increasing priority based on depth; the algorithm assumes more tasks need to be done by the due date so you better get to work. As you check tasks off, the next task up is less urgent, there's less to do by the due date; but as the "day and time" move forward the entire section of the outline becomes more urgent because you are getting closer to the do date. So both ends push at each other when there are dates involved. We once had a user freak out because the priority changed each time he hit update without changing any tasks. He failed to realize that he set a due date and time and that he forgot to pause the universe before hitting update. :) :) I do think people will have less issues when and if REV 3 of CSA is available. I did some spreadsheet calcs and I really think this handles the NULL dates and start dates better. I'm glad I found the time review it in light of the software changes at large. I really should have found time before Andrey released 3.0; but that wasn't in the cards. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
