Scheduling Settings Section of the Scheduling Report Dialog Box of the Activities PageOverview Use this section to view the configuration of various scheduling settings. All fields are read-only. Screen Elements Ignore relationships to and from other projects option Determines whether to ignore activity relationships between projects. Make open-ended activities critical option Determines whether to label open-ended activities as critical during the scheduling. Use expected finish dates option Determines whether to schedule activity finish dates as the expected finish dates. When scheduling progressed activities use option Determines the type of logic used to schedule dependent activities with out-of-sequence progress. For example, a Finish to Start relationship in which the predecessor has not finished but the successor has started. Retained Logic: The remaining duration of a progressed activity is not scheduled until all of its predecessors are finished. Progress Override: The schedule ignores network logic and allows the activity to progress without delay.
Calculate Start-to-Start lag from option Determines when you want the successor to start. When a start to start relationship exists and the predecessor starts out of sequence, the scheduler delays the successor activity until the lag expires and all predecessor relationships have been satisfied. Use this option to specify whether to subtract the lag from the predecessor's internal early start date or its actual start date.
Define critical activities as Total Float less than or equal to field Determines which activities are critical based on the flexibility of scheduled dates. Compute Total Float As option Determines the method to calculate total float for all activities based on the following methods:
Calendar for scheduling Relationship Lag is list The calendar used to calculate relationship lag. The default calendar for new activities is specified on the Administration > Calendars page or in P6 Professional.
Calculate multiple float paths option Determines whether multiple critical float paths (sequences of activities) are calculated in the project schedule. You can specify the number of critical float paths to identify in the Specify the number of paths to calculate field. If you do not select this option, you cannot edit the remaining fields. Recalculate Assignment Costs option Determines whether the costs of resource or role assignments that use multiple rates are recalculated. Using this option ensures that costs remain accurate when rescheduled dates reflect a rate change. Getting Here
