Executing a schedule quality check

Before you execute a schedule quality check, ensure that you have used both tabs of the Quality Check Properties dialog to configure the quality metrics that are included in the quality check, and its scope.

To execute a schedule quality check, either:

View the properties of a quality check in Library Explorer and click Execute on the Quality Check Properties dialog.
Right-click a row relating to the quality check in the Quality Checks pane and select Execute Check.

When you execute a schedule quality check, the project is examined for each of the metrics that is included. Depending on the metrics you have included, the project may need to be rescheduled as part of the check. When the quality check is complete, the Quality Check Results dialog appears. The dialog displays a weighted total result at the top, giving an overall indication of whether the project has passed or failed the schedule quality check, taking the weighted results of all the quality metrics into account. This is followed by the results for each individual quality metric, optionally grouped by chart or summary group - depending on how you have configured the schedule quality check. You can use the buttons on this dialog to copy the results to the Clipboard - or to Microsoft Excel®, if Excel is installed on your computer - and to view the tasks that have failed a quality metric.
