How to access the Project Schedule

In a Project, click the three lines (Hamburger Menu) at the top-left-hand corner and select Schedule:

What information is tracked within Mastt, and how do I report this information?

You can track the status, phases, and key dates (start, baseline completion, forecast completion, and actual completion) for your Project Milestones.

You can export all milestones to an Excel document by clicking on the three dots and then clicking Download:

If you have made changes to a schedule export and want to get the information back into Mastt, reach out to your Customer Success Manager for assistance.

All schedule information is available on the Dashboard, with four different tiles to choose from:

Project Phases - this tile shows the current phase your Project is in, and when it is expected to leave that phase.

Schedule Milestone Chart - shows project milestones, their phase, completion status and slip/gain (if relevant).

Schedule Milestone Table - shows project milestones, their phase, completion status, comments, and dates in a table.

sched
Progress Rings - shows the progress between the starting and ending milestones.

How to add/edit the Project Schedule

On the Project Schedule page, click on the Edit button and the Add/Edit form will then show up:


Click Add Row to add a new Schedule Milestone. You can then enter:

  • Milestone Name
  • Phase
  • Start Date
  • Baseline Completion Date
  • Forecast Completion Date
  • Milestone Status
  • Start and End Marker - these are used by the Progress Ring tile to determine how far through the project you are.
  • Comments

Once the Milestone Status has been moved to Completed, you can enter the Actual Completion Date.

If you have created a Schedule Milestone Template, you can apply it to the Project. Click the drop-down in the top-right-hand corner of the form and choose the template you would like to apply.

Once you are done, click Save.

How to create or change Schedule Templates

You need to be an Admin to create or change Schedule Templates. 

To create or change Schedule and Phase templates:

Editing the Phase Template

To edit the Phase Template, click on the three dots next to the Phase Template and click Edit Template:

Creating/Editing a Schedule Template
