It is possible to initialize or re-initialize a project. This is a way to bring a project back to zero. This is very helpful with projects that are periodically re-executed. This function is also very useful when creating a new project or project template from an existing project.

This function is going to browse through all of the project’s elements and re-initialize them. This includes all tasks, deliverables, costs and workflows. Only the initial values will be saved.

To initialize a project:

• Open the project description

• Click "Actions" on the menu bar and choose "Initialize"

• A dialog box will open asking you to confirm the action. Choose "Yes" to continue

• Enter the year of the new start. If the project had originally started in 2010, by entering 2012 all of the new initial project dates will be moved ahead with a new project’s start date set to January 1st.
  

To reflect changes in all tasks and deliverables documents, the plan (Gantt chart) must then be edited and saved.
