This is rather basic but since we get asked from time to time in support, please bear with us if you already are familiar with it, otherwise sit back and enjoy.
How do I edit my Merlin projects in the web browser? I share them over my Merlin Server.
Editing your Merlin projects on the web is easy.
- Once you know their address (in this case the Merlin Server’s address) just use the address on a supported web browser*.
- Merlin web shows no inspector, you edit the values in the shown columns directly.
- Expected columns contain automatically calculated values, are thus not editable.
- To edit your schedule use the column set ‘Time Planing’ and edit the ‘given planned… dates’. You can use the mini calendar or type the appropriate dates.
- To update your schedule use the column set  ‘Project Reporting (Percent)’; or ‘Project Reporting (absolute)’ depending on the reporting mode you want to use.
- To link or indent activities  use the according buttons.
- Don’t forget to save your changes.

One of the questions coming up in support now and then, is how to change expected or planned start dates in a project. Â I have to admit I was a bit puzzled the first time I was confronted to this question. Being someone who simply loves to use inspectors and palettes I could not understand why would anyone really try and edit the values in the columns ‘planned start’ or ‘expected start’, when there is the ‘plan’ tab of the inspector.
