The Assignment Manager panel switches to Grid view.

2.To edit the time for an assignment, click in the Start or End column associated with the assignment to edit.

A dialog box opens displaying the assignment time settings with the current values for the selected assignment.

›Start — click in this box to use the Calendar tool to specify the start date and time for the assignment.

›End — click in this box to use the Calendar tool to specify the end date and time for the assignment.

Editing the End time changes the assignment duration but not the Start time.

•No Expiry — select this option to change the assignment to one without a start and end time or date.

When you edit the Start time or date of an assignment Inception uses the original duration of the assignment to automatically set a new End time or date for the assignment. You can edit the new End time or date if required. Editing the End time or date only changes the assignment duration, it does not change the Start time.
