To control which activities are reported as critical, you select a scheduling option on the Projects > Tools page.

To specify critical activities

  1. Open the project or group of projects you want to work with in the Projects section.
  2. Click Project Tools on the Projects toolbar to display the Tools page.
  3. If multiple projects are open, choose the project you want to work with from the Select Project list.
Note: If a single project is open, the Select Project list does not appear. When multiple projects are open, the Select Project box lists all open projects you have rights to access. Any action you perform, and all data that appears on the page, applies to the selected project only.
  1. Click Scheduling Options.
  2. On the General tab, in the Define critical activities as section, choose the Total Float less than or equal to, or Longest Path option.
Total Float defines critical activities based on the float value and computation method you specify.
Longest Path defines critical activities based on the sequence of driving activities that determine the project end date.
  1. If choosing the Total Float less than or equal to option, type a value. Also, in the Compute Total Float as field, specify the method you want to use.
Activities whose float does not exceed the value you specify are listed in the Critical activities behind schedule portlet, which can be displayed in the Project Workspace.
