Default Project Properties
Microsoft Project lets users set default project properties that speed up the process of setting up a project. The default properties define when a new task starts and finishes, sets the default overtime and standard pay rates and more. Aspose.Tasks for C++ supports these features.
The Project exposes a number of properties for managing a project’s default properties:
- DefaultStartTime: a new tasks' default start time, takes a DateTime value.
- DefaultFinishTime: a new tasks' default finishing time, takes a DateTime value.
- DefaultFixedCostAccrual: an assignment’s default fixed cost accrual, takes one of the values defined by the CostAccrualType enumeration.
- DefaultStandardRate: the default standard pay rate, takes a double.
- DefaultOvertimeRate: the default overtime pay rate, takes a double.
- DefaultTaskEVMethod: the default task earned value method, takes one of the values defined by the EarnedValueMethodType enumeration.
- DefaultTaskType: the project’s default task type, takes one of the values defined by the TaskType enumeration.
