Journal Information

The journal date is determined by the Frequency except on the first row where the date is today's date if the source journal is "Complete", or is the source journal's date if that journal is "In Progress". If you edit the date on the first row, you can click to recalculate the journal dates and periods of the subsequent recurring journals relative to the edited date.
