Why does RTC Traditional Scheduler ignore ranking?
Articles on the traditional scheduler for RTC 4.0 (e.g. https://jazz.net/library/article/663) clearly state that the Rank attribute is used by the scheduler to determine start/end dates. However, I cannot get this to work with the out-of-the-box Formal Project Management Template. I added the Rank column to my Release plan and created several tasks that are all assigned to the same resource. However, setting the Rank has no effect on the scheduler.
Is this a bug? Should I submit a PMR?
Thanks,
Robert

The Article is not very precise on what the ranking does and how to use it.
As far as my experience goes, the scheduler itself does not use the rank for its calculations. You can rank tasks before they have all information to be scheduled. Then provide the necessary information to get them scheduled. They will then be ordered in the order you make them able to be scheduled.
You might want to consider to create an enhancement request.
