This tab includes schedule and risk mode options and color mapping options for the top SmartGantt bar.
Schedule
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|
| Critical / Non-Critical
|
Show critical activities in red and non-critical activities in blue.
|
| Schedule Quantity
|
Show color based on the Fuse Schedule Index. Activities in red are poorly planned (include errors such as missing logic, negative float or insufficient detail) while activities in green are well planned. Yellow or orange activities fall somewhere in-between.
|
| Historical Performance
|
Show color based on the historical performance of each activity. Activities that have been performing poorly are shown in red. Activities that are on time and on budget are shown in green. Yellow or orange activities fall somewhere in-between.
|
| Calibration
|
Color activities based on the acceleration calibration settings. This option is only available with Deltek Acumen 360. The color settings for this option are defined in the calibration template.
|
| Schedule Realism Advisor
|
Color each activity based on suggestions from the Schedule Realism Adviser.
|
| Metric
|
Show color based on a certain metric from a Fuse analysis. Each activity will be colored based on the thresholds defined by the metric. Use the drop-down arrow to select a metric.
|
| Field
|
Use the drop-down arrow to select a field such as
Activity Status (or any user-defined field) to use as the basis for coloring each activity. After a field is selected, use the Color Mappings area to define the color mapping.
|
Risk
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|
| Duration Uncertainty
|
Color each activity based on the Duration Uncertainty assigned in Acumen Risk. The colors are defined in the Uncertainty Template found on the S3 // Risk tab.
|
| Cost Uncertainty
|
Color each activity based on the Cost Uncertainty assigned in Acumen Risk. The colors are defined in the Uncertainty Template found on the S3 // Risk tab.
|
| Criticality
|
Color based on how many times the activity fell on the critical path during risk analysis. Red activities have a higher criticality while green activities have a lower criticality. Yellow or orange activities fall somewhere in the middle.
|
| Duration Contribution
|
Color the activities based on how much or how little they impact the risk-adjusted project finish date. Red activities have a higher impact on project finish while green activities have a lower impact. Yellow or orange activities fall somewhere in the middle.
|
| Risk Range Factor
|
Color the activities based on Acumen Risk's simulation of the impact of risk events on the schedule.
|
Risk

|
| Risk Range Factor
|
Color the activities based on Acumen Risk's simulation of the impact of risk events on the schedule.
