    Fixed dateRelease start date is set to the chosen date.
    Relative to previous release dateThis option allows you to specify the amount of time gap that you want to leave once the previous release is finished and the works on the new one starts.
    Release DateDescription
    Fixed dateRelease end date is set to the chosen date. In the graphical schedule you'll see a buffer if there is free capacity, or it will be shown as overbooked in red color.
