Selection Sets Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to create a new selection set or to edit an existing one.

Field Description
Selection Set This is the name of the selection set.
Note: When you create a selection set, it is helpful to title it the same as the selected project. That way, when you create a report, it is easy to see which selection set relates to which project.
Available Activities This is the list of available activities and hierarchy nodes from the selected project on the S3 // Risk tab. You can select different hierarchy nodes for the report by grouping activities by a different hierarchy. You do this by clicking Grouping > Group by Hierarchy on the Activities menu and selecting a different hierarchy.

The dialog box groups activities in the same grouping mode as the S3 // Risks tab Activity grid and supports flat mode and grouping by hierarchy. If you group by field, the data in the dialog box is grouped by WBS. The dialog box does not include summary activities or empty hierarchy nodes when grouped by hierarchy.

Selected Activities This is the list of activities and hierarchy nodes that will be included in the report.

If you are working with an existing selection set, any activities that have previously been selected but are not in the current project display their ID and an Activity Not Found in <ProjectName> description in red. These will not be included in the report. You can still add other activities to the Selected Activities grid and you can move the red activities out of the grid.

For example, you select Project A and create Selection Set A. You now select Project B and edit Selection Set A. On the Selection Sets dialog box, any activity ID's that are in the Selected Activities grid that don't match an activity in Project B will display in red and not be part of the created report.

Similarly, if you are working with an existing selection set, any hierarchy nodes that were previously selected and are not in the current hierarchy will display in red and will not be included in the report.

Arrows Use the arrows between the grids to move the activities from Available to Selected and vice versa.
