Calendars -- Ability to show planned duration even after actual is entered

It would be awesome to force the calendar to continue to show Planned Dates/Duration and not Actual or Projected Dates/Duration even after actual dates/hours are entered.

Having a calendar with the ability to show planned in one color with the actual or projected in another color would be awesome to show our executives and stakeholders.

Calendars are the best visual representation we can show them. Yes, I do realize there are gantt charts in the system that could show this -- but calendars really give laypeople the best understanding in my experience.

Right now, the calendar options are very limited:

    This is very much needed. We have calendars built to hold historical data of activities that do no have accurate data due to the tasks not being marked as in progress and then as complete on the correct days.

    Can't agree with you more! Our Project Mangers want to start using Calendars in Workfront for team meetings and to display when different teams/groups will be involved in the project. However, they are not happy that when Actual Work is logged, they can no longer see the Planned or Projected Dates. Having the ability to show Planned or Projected alongside Actual would be nice.

    We have been trying to find out if Workfront has any plans to improve the Calendar feature. A big draw back is that there isn't a way to print it. They'd really love to see that. I am really hoping they are planning on investing some time/effort in sprucing this part of the application up!
