Checking the Project Schedule

Besides the graphical planning board, SAP Project System (PS) offers a new SAP UI5 app for checking project schedules. With this app, you can view the hierarchy of the project objects and monitor their time lines. The chart area of the screen allows you to display a different set of dates in a Gantt representation while displaying the project tree with detailed information in the table area.

The application offers the following key features:

• Display the project tree in the table view with a configurable set of attributes.
• Specify the default hierarchy level to be exploded on opening a project.
• Choose and display date information in the chart area, such as Basic, Actual, and Forecast dates.
• Display relationships within networks or plant maintenance orders.
• Open the side panel with detailed information about the selected object.
• Apply custom coloring for shapes in the Gantt chart area (using the UI Theme Designer).
• Navigate to relevant object pages and other applications.
• Save the preferred configuration and use it for the next run.

Alternatively to the network graphic overview in the Project Builder, you can use this app to display network activities and their relationships as an interactive graph. The app allows you to identify critical activities, their dependencies, confirmation status, and display detailed information for selected objects.

The application offers the following key features:

• Display network activities for a selected project, network, or WBS element and their relationships in a graph view.
• Group activities by network or WBS element.
• Detect loops.
• Navigate by successors and predecessors.
• Highlight activities by selected criteria.
• Search for activities.
• Display detailed information for selected objects.
• Navigate to related apps to view details of networks, network activities, WBS elements.
• Open an overview of objects assigned to the network activity: milestones, subnetworks, activity elements, material components.
• Add and edit attributes of the network activity, including assigned objects, which are shown in the graph node in Customizing.
• Switch between different view types.
