PTO not working?

Level 2
Is anybody having an issue with PTO and impact on work dates? I've noticed two things this week. (1) If a task is created (spanning several days), assigned to one person, and then you insert a PTO day in the middle, the task work days are NOT updated. The PTO day needs to be entered before you create the task. (???). (2) Let's say you have a task where a PTO day in the middle is factored in correctly (pushing out the finish date). If you remove the PTO day, the task work days are NOT updated. Seems like if you refresh the screen, the dates should adjust accordingly with the above changes.

Have you tried "Recalculate Timeline" under the Project Actions? I agree, a refresh would ideally make the change, but I know some things take overnight to update unless you use the Recalculate feature.

That works! I had figured a screen refresh would work (as it does in many other areas) but in this case clicking "recalculate timeline" is required. Many thanks Heather. Michael Crocken Senior Team Leader, Project Management Whole Foods Market Austin, TX
