- Schedules with Data Integrity Issues
Backdated Actual Start / Actual Finish Dates
When the Actual Start and/or Actual Finish dates of an activity in a later schedule are backdated for not started / finished activities, SmartPM replaces this date in the previous schedules and uses the updated information to update previous analyses. Progress data is accepted based on when it occurred regardless of when it was first reported.
For example, an activity that was reported as not started / not finished in a February update is subsequently reported to have started / finished in January according to the March update, SmartPM replaces this data in the previous schedules and uses the updated information to update previous analyses.
