Select color settings for the activities displayed on the SmartGantt.
| Field | Description |
|---|
|
Critical/Non Critical
|
Show critical activities in red and non-critical activities in blue.
|
|
Schedule Quality
|
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.
|
|
Metrics
|
Show color based on a certain metric from a Fuse analysis. Each activity will be colored based on the thresholds defined by the metric. When you select this option, the SmartGantt Configuration dialog box displays. Use the drop-down arrow next to the
Metric field on the Top/Bottom Bar Color tab to select a metric.
|
| Field
|
When you select this option, the SmartGantt Configuration dialog box displays. Use the drop-down arrow next to the
Field field on the Top/Bottom Bar Color tab 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 Mapping area to define the color mapping.
|
| Advisor / Schedule Realism Advisor
|
Color each activity based on suggestions from the Schedule Realism Adviser.
|
| Risk Inputs
|
Color activities based on the uncertainty inputs defined during a risk analysis. This option is only available with Acumen Risk.
- Duration Uncertainty colors 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 colors 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.
|
| Risk Outputs
|
These options for coloring activities in the SmartGantt are only available with Acumen Risk. A risk analysis must be performed first in order to use these options.
- Criticality colors 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 colors 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 colors the activities based on Acumen Risk's simulation of the impact of risk events on the schedule.
|
| Acceleration
|
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.
