Advanced Tab of the Scheduling Options Dialog BoxOverview Use this tab to specify whether you want to calculate multiple critical float paths. Calculating multiple critical float paths enables you to determine the most critical path, along with the sub-critical paths that affect completion. Screen Elements Calculate multiple float paths option Determines whether to calculate multiple critical float paths (sequences of activities) in the project schedule. Calculate multiple paths using options Determines whether to calculate multiple paths using Total Float or Free Float.
Display multiple float paths ending with activity field The activity in the WBS to represent the end of the float paths. Typically, this is a milestone activity or some other significant activity that has a start date or end date that cannot change. Specify the number of paths to calculate field The number of critical float paths to calculate. If you specify 5, P6 will calculate the five most critical float paths ending with the activity you selected. Each float path is ranked from most critical to least critical and stores the value for each activity in the Float Path field. For example, if you calculate five float paths, a value of 1 is stored in the Float Path field for each activity in the most critical float path; a value of 5 is stored for each activity in the least critical float path. To view the critical float paths after you schedule the project, on the Activities page, create a view that groups activities by Float Path and sort them by Float Path Order. A Float Path value of 1 indicates that those activities are part of the most critical float path. The Float Path Order value indicates the order in which the activities were processed. Getting Here
