Task Deadline

A target date for the completion of a task. Task deadlines are defined in the Deadlines tab of Task Information dialog box. You can assign different actions for when a deadline occurs: the deadline can be ignored in the scheduling process and the task can be canceled with or without affecting the success rate. Deadlines are displayed as a red arrow in Gantt charts. Deadline arrows can be turned off and on in the Project Options (Calendar tab).
