* Automatic scheduling

* Changing the finish date of a stage triggers the rescheduling of succeeding stages/gates. Those automatic changes are only saved after explicit saving the form.

* In case finish dates of stages are empty they are not set by changing the dates of predecessors.

* Active stages/gates are considered to be following each other based on the sort order in the administration.

* In case a stage/gate is inactive in a project, the next active stage/gate is considered to be the successor. Multiple inactive stages/gates can be ignored that way.

* Stages/gates not active in the project are not scheduled. In case a stage/gate is inactivated, it keeps its dates.

* Activating and deactivating a stage or gate does not trigger a rescheduling.

* Only working days can be selected. Non-working days are excluding from rescheduling. Finish days can never be non-working days.

* Activity

* The activity page includes the changes to stages and gates

* Work package

* A stage/gate can be an attribute of a work package (similar to versions).

* A work package can be optionally assigned one or more stages and gates (multi-select).

* The type form configuration also included the attribute (stage/gate).

* The assignment of stages and gates does not impact scheduling.

* Work packages can be filtered for stages and gates (similar to versions).

* Permissions

* There is a separate project permission to activate and deactivate project stages and gates.

* There is a separate project permission to edit stages and gates.
