Changing default settings for a Roadmap

Changing the default duration of items when added to the timeline/roadmap

The default duration for ad hoc items is six months, but you can change this default for all new ad hoc items. The default duration is used when an item that does not have both a planned start and planned finish date is added to the timeline. 

  1. Click ellipsis_CC.png > Configuration. The Roadmap configuration dialog appears.

  3. In the Default duration for new items fields, change the number and time period.

  2. Click the Roadmap details tab.
