Task start / end time

Hi Dom,

This is possible with customizations.

What you could do is create a custom field to specify the time (as, perhaps, a pick-list of pre-defined values) and then write a custom workflow rule in which any time this custom value is changed, to update/reschedule the respective object's Start Date value. To update the Start Date, you would need to construct a new DateTime object using the hours and minutes specified in your custom time field.

We are actually working on a similar app for this and will update this thread once we have it written.

Thanks!

Hello,

As promised, here is a link to an app that implements this behavior:

 https://app.clarizen.com/clarizen/View/Default.aspx?id=f2c2aabd-6f3e-4b2f-b7e2-f6193f460979&type=Published+Application

Once you install the app, be sure to click the "Enable" link. This app creates two custom fields and one custom workflow rule. What you can do is customize a view and add the "Start Time - 24h" property to it (use the "Show Me How -> Manage Views" option to help clarify).

Now, create a task, assign a resource, and change the Start Time - 24h property to a value somewhere in between your organization's working hours (usually 0800 to 1700). Now, alter the Duration property, as well, to, for example, 2h (2 hours).

Effectively, the task's underlying properties have changed. To see this, you can right-click on the task, click the "Resource Calendar" option, click the resource's name in the Resource Calendar View, hover your mouse over the task in question, and see that the calendar shows the correct information.

I hope this helps!
