If you mean actual start/finish, you can't (yet?). You can have %completion
shown by rightclick in treeview and select the info you want to show.
In general, you can configure most views this way.

The optimistc/pessimistic schedules from the last release didn't make it into
this release. I had originally thought of using them for some analyzis
purposes, but came to the conclution that it's better to implement a monte
carlo simulation and take it from there.
The intention with multiple sechedules are twofold:
1) Calculation with different parameters. Not many parameters to tweek yet,
so...
2) Reschedule running projects when there are changes to resource
availability, new tasks or the progress is just too far of the plan.
You this by adding a sub-schedule and calculate that. It will reschedule the
tasks not yet finished taking into account the reported progress/remaining
effort.
