While creating projects, Apptivo allows users to add the start date and end date of your projects. You can disallow your employees from adding past dates in the projects. Let’s walk through the steps to prevent employees from adding past dates in the Start Date field using Master Layout.

Note: The Master Layout feature is available in the Premium, Ultimate, and Enterprise plans of Apptivo.

  • In the Projects App of Apptivo, select Settings from the App Header.

  • In the Master Layout page, click on the Start Date field to view the Inspector tab. The inspector tab is configured to allow users to add past dates.

  • Enable the Disallow Past Dates toggle and save the changes.
