S1 // Projects Tab
Use this tab to create and maintain project workbooks and to import, view, and edit project data.
Project data can come from multiple sources and platforms. It can be a combination of cost, schedule, risk, or any other type of project management data.
Before you can analyze your projects, you must:
- Create or open a workbook.
- Create external data project links.
- Import the project data.
After you import your project data, you can perform such tasks as:
- Manipulate schedules
- Create scenarios
- View or edit activity details

When importing project data, you can use the command to filter the type of information that is imported into your Acumen workbook. - Importing Project Data
You can choose to import all data in a workbook, or only certain projects. - Importing Cost Data
Acumen allows you to import cost data from a Deltek Cobra data file, a .cvs file, and/or Work Authorization Document (WAD). - Include/Exclude Projects from Analysis
While an Acumen workbook can contain an unlimited number of projects and snapshots, you can control which of these projects/snapshots get included in analysis. - Milestones
If your scheduling tool differentiates between start and finish milestones, then when you import a project, Acumen maintains that differentiation for metric analysis. - Display Units
Workbook duration and work data can be displayed in either days or hours. - Scenarios
Scenarios are very similar to snapshots and are schedules created directly within Acumen. - Change Time Now and Update Activity Progress
Use the Time Now field on the Details pane Status tab to change Time Now and update activity progress. - Calibrating Activities
Each activity row includes a duration calibration slider which allows you to calibrate the activity duration and immediately view the impact on the rest of the schedule. - Filtering Activities
You can create filters for the Activities View and SmartGantt using metrics or during forensic analysis. - SmartGantt Chart
In the Activity view, on the right side of the S1 // Projects tab screen, the project displays as a Gantt chart, called a SmartGantt. - Cost Estimates
You can create a new cost estimate directly within Acumen Risk in order to perform a cost risk analysis. - Cleansing and Resolving Flaws in a Schedule
