System Response

This affects scheduling. The system uses the finish dates of the
assigned tasks to determine the earliest/latest finish of the checklist
item.
However, you can ignore the determined finish dates (earliest/latest)
if:
The checklist item has been confirmed (actual finish). The actual finish
is then seen as the earliest/latest finish of the checklist item.
The finish constraint is set. The system then uses the constraint date
as the earliest/latest finish of the checklist item if:
The <ZK>Must finish on</> constraint is set or
The <ZK>Finish no earlier than</> constraint is set and the finish dates
determined are earlier than the constraint date or
The <ZK>Finish no later than</> constraint is set and the finish dates
determined are later than the constraint date
