Entering Independent Projects

Hi,
I was under the impression that every project that I enter in LP is independent from each other. By that I mean, being able to work on several projects at the same time. Well, I entered a project yesterday (8/25/08)that set the dates according to what I wanted. As soon as I entered another project, it set the starting date for 9/4/08 and not 8/25/08. Shouldn’t projects be independent from each other and allow me to have my desired start date??? ... If so, please explain how to enter them because it seems I haven’t figure it out yet.
Thanks!

So in LiquidPlanner, there are two ways you organize your data.

• Project Folders: For categorizing and grouping your tasks
• Prioritized Tasklists: For ordering your tasks

If you create a folder, the tasks in there don’t have any particular schedule ordering. When you place the tasks into tasklists, they get a schedule order.

For example, take 2 projects: “Balloon Company” and “Deathstar Remodel”. Create a folder for each, and put the tasks in there. Then lets say you have 4 stages of work to do, because I’m running out of creativity you could create: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4 each as a Tasklist.

Dropping those tasks from “Balloon Company” and “Deathstar Remodel” into various tasklists will prioritize them. Alternatively you can assign all of the tasks in “Balloon Company” to a certain tasklist, for instance “Phase 1” (in the details pane, select the project, and then set its tasklist, LiquidPlanner will ask if you want to set all of its children to the new tasklist).
