Need today's date plus status date

Question:     

How do I set the status date? I am trying to get status line to show at month end date but I want the date at top right to show today's date.

 

Answer:

Here's how to override the current date (by default, same as today's date)

  1. Click the Dates tab.
  2. In the Current Date section, specify a date under Set Override.  
  3. Also in the Current Date section, Display Date.  This is done so that the current date override is not displayed.
  4. Using the (Text tool), click where you would like today's date displayed.  
  5. Enter &sysdate (this is one of the substitutable text fields available in Milestones.)  In the example below, the current date override is set to June 30, 2015.  The current date will be displayed where &sysdate is shown:
