Activity Browser

Use the Activity Browser to report specific data based on a given criteria.

The data shown and the columns that display in the grid depend on the type of metric selected as well as the segment of the ribbon or analyzer window that is selected. The grid header displays in parenthesis the number of records that tripped the metric as well as the number of records evaluated by the metric. The records may be activities, work packages, or control accounts, depending on the metric.

If you select an activity metric, then the grid displays a list of activities. If you select a control account or work package metric, the grid displays the control accounts/work packages and if you have a secondary tripwire, it displays the activities below the control accounts/work packages.

The data that displays can originate from any of the following:

  • Data irrespective of Tripwire threshold:
    • A ribbon (cutting across multiple phases) displays all data for a given ribbon.
    • A phase (cutting across multiple ribbons) displays all data for a given phase.
    • An intersection displays all data for a given ribbon within a specific phase.
  • Data that triggers a given Tripwire threshold:
    • Ribbon metric results displays data for a given metric segment within the ribbon analyzer.
    • Phase metric results displays data for a given metric segment within the phase analyzer.
    • Intersection metric results displays data for a given metric segment within the intersection analyzer.

Activity Browser Modes

The Activity Browser can display activities in tabular, heat map, Gantt chart, scorecard, or detailed format.

Activity Browser Toolbar

The toolbar buttons are all context sensitive. For example, if you select a control account in the grid, the Trace buttons are disabled.

The filter only applies to the activities in the grid. If you have a mixed grid (for example, control accounts and activities), the filter ignores the control accounts.

Undock

You can click Undock in the Activity Browser Modes menu group to create a floating Activity Browser window for easier viewing and window sizing.
