Logic Trace (S2 // Diagnostics Tab)

Logic analysis traces the path(s) of activities to and from a given activity.

For example, all activity paths leading into a given milestone, or all activities on the path from a project sanction milestone to the end of the project.

In addition to running it from the S2 // Diagnostic tab, you can also run logic trace from the S2 // Logic tab.

You can use the following tracing modes, which are available from the Logic > Trace drop-down menu:
  • Trace Forward traces logic forward starting from the selected activity.
  • Trace Backward traces logic backward starting from the selected activity.
  • Trace Forward / Backward traces logic forward and backward starting from the selected activity.
  • Trace Path traces the paths between any two given activities; it traces the logic from a starting activity until reaching the finishing activity.

When you conduct a logic analysis, the analysis engine and resultant metric results only reflect those activities that are returned in the path analysis.
