Set the Data Date for a Project

The data date is the progress point, or "as-of date," for activities in the project. Project status is up-to-date as of the data date.

The data date is also used for updating the dates of scope assignments and work packages when they are not linked to activities.

Note: Dates will not change after the Data Date is updated for activities or scope assignments unless you run the Scheduler or Modify Dates feature, respectively.

To set the project data date:

1. Navigate to the project Details page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project.
   2. In the object selector, beside a project name, select , and then select View Summary & Settings.
   3. On the Summary & Settings page, select Details.
2. In the Details section, in the Data Date field, select the date.
3. Select Save.

   Note: If an error displays when loading the details page for a project created before the 24.1 (January 2024) release of Primavera Cloud, assign a manager to the project from the Projects page. See Assign a Manager to a Project for instructions.
