Scheduling Projects

Schedule projects to keep track of activities, actual durations, and costs. Knowing where these stand will help you when making decisions and predictions about the project.

To schedule projects:

  1. Open one or more projects in the Projects section using one of the following methods:
    • Click "" Projects to open the last project or group of projects you were working with.
    • Click the "" Projects menu and choose one of the most-recently used projects or group of projects.
    • Click the "" Projects menu and choose Open Projects to select a project or group of projects by portfolio type, EPS node, or project code.
  2. On the Projects navigation bar, click "" Activities.
  3. On the Activities page, click the Actions menu and select Run "" "" Scheduler... (F9).
  4. In the Schedule Project dialog box:
    1. Configure the options and fields.
    2. Click Schedule.

Tips

  • See Configuring General Scheduling Options or Configuring Advanced Scheduling Options.
  • This schedules all open projects at the same time. If you do not have scheduling privileges for all the open projects, Scheduler is disabled.
  • You can have the application schedule projects automatically. See Creating Scheduled Services.
  • These services are removed from the database based on the ASAP Cleanup Rate your P6 administrator specifies on the Configurations tab in P6 Administrator application. Once the time is met all ASAP jobs that have a status other than running or delegated will be removed from the table automatically. Running and delegated jobs will be removed if they are older than the cleanup rate or if they are older than one day, whichever is greater.
