# Capture portfolio and program key dates

While capturing key dates is optional, we recommend that you work with the sponsor to identify and capture the **Key Dates** that will be important to the stakeholders.

A **Key Date** is simply an event that has significance to one or more stakeholders and needs to be monitored and reported on such as *Quarterly Performance Reports* or *Semi-annual financial reconciliations* or *Alignment with corporate Q3 objectives* or *Program Integration test.*     
  
  
To capture key dates:

1.  Ensure you have the appropriate portfolio (or program) open**.**  
     
2.  Click the **Key Dates** tab.  
     
3.  Click **+New Key** Date.  
     
4.  Complete the **Quick Create Key Date** form and then click **Save and Close** from the bottom.  
     
5.  Set the status by dragging and dropping the **Key Dates** card to the appropriate **Status** column.  
      
    If you used the **+New Key Date** under the appropriate KPI column (e.g. *At Risk, On Track*) this step, is not necessary.   
     

> **Important:** Unless configured for your organisation's Altus app, key dates and deliverable items are ***not*** linked to tasks in the schedule within Altus by default. the **Key Dates** and **Deliverables** *registers provide you with the ability to manage, track, and report on key dates and deliverables independent of the schedule.*
