How do I...
... configure the reschedule report settings?
- Select the Display report in browser check box if you want reschedule reports to appear in your web browser after a reschedule.
- Select the Save report file check box if you want to save reschedule reports as log files. If you want to save reschedule reports in a different folder, click Browse and select the folder in which you want them to be saved.
Note that you can choose to display reschedule reports in your web browser and save them as log files at the same time. If you do not want to produce reschedule reports at all, clear both check boxes. - Use the fields in the Identify tasks in report group to specify the way in which you want the report to identify the tasks.
- Reschedule reports can include a 'key milestones' section, which details any milestones within the scope of the reschedule, together with their dates prior to the reschedule and their dates following the reschedule. If you want to include this information in the report, select the Milestone report check box.
- If you choose to include the 'key milestones' information in the report, use the remaining fields in the Key milestones section group to configure this section of the report:
- Click the List all milestones radio button to report on all of the milestones within the scope of the reschedule, regardless of whether or not they have been changed by the reschedule.
- Click the Changed only radio button to report on only those milestones within the scope of the reschedule that have been changed by the reschedule - ie those milestones that have either been moved or that now have a different amount of float.
- If you want to limit the report to milestones to which a specific code library entry has been applied, select the Restrict to check box and select a code library entry. This is useful if you use a specific code library entry to identify the milestones in which you are particularly interested.
