How are phases ordered in Scoping?

Question

How are phases ordered in Scoping? Can I reorder them?

• Default Order
• Reorder Phases Manually

Answer

In Scoping, by default, phases are ordered by their start and end dates, but you have the option to manually rearrange phases in any order you prefer.

Default Order

By default, phases are ordered by their start and end dates. If two or more phases have the same start and end date, they will be ordered by their creation date.

A phase with a start date of January 1, 2025 and an end date of January 15, 2025 will appear above a phase with a start date of January 1, 2025 and an end date of January 31, 2025. 

When phases have the same start and end dates, they will be ordered by their creation date, with the most recent created phase appearing at the top.

Reorder Phases Manually

You can manually reorder phases by following these steps:

1. Click Manage Phases at the top right of the Scoping page.

2. Select your preferred order from the dropdown menu:

   1. By start date (Ascending)
   2. By start date (Descending)
   3. Custom (Allows you to drag and drop phases manually).
3. If you selected Custom, you can drag and drop the phases to reorder them manually. 
4. Click Save Changes.
