You can specify scheduling criteria and begin scheduling tasks using Autoschedule. You can autoschedule an entire project or only tasks that occur between ranges of dates. Use this procedure to specify the deviations from the current schedule and automatically create a new tentative schedule.
You can also create a tentative schedule by running the Autoschedule Investment job.
You can discard a tentative schedule and delete projects that are tentative-scheduled. When you delete the tentative schedule, the project is unlocked and the plan of record (POR) information is displayed. To delete a tentative schedule, click the down arrow for the Autoschedule With Options icon on the Gantt view toolbar, and select Delete Tentative Schedule.
Follow these steps:
The list page appears.
The Gantt view appears.
The autoschedule page appears.
Displays the name for the project. The value for the field is based on the Project Name field on the project properties page.
Displays the start date. The value for this field is based on the Start Date field on the project properties page.
Displays the finish date. The value for this field is based on the Finish Date field on the general properties page.
Specifies the date to begin scheduling tasks. If you are scheduling from the finish date, enter the date on or before to begin scheduling tasks. If the project is not initiated, enter the project start date. If the project is already in progress, enter the first day after the last date actuals are posted.
Default: Current Date
Specifies the date before which to exclude tasks.
Example: Suppose, you enter 7/3/11 as the Ignore Tasks Starting Before date, and you have a task that starts on 6/20/11. The task is excluded from the schedule.
Specifies the date after which to exclude all tasks.
Example: Suppose, you enter 7/3/11 as the Ignore Tasks Starting After date, and you have a task that starts on 8/14/11. The task is excluded from the schedule.
Specifies if you want Autoschedule to consider resource availability when scheduling the project.
Default: Selected
Note: If you clear the check box, Autoschedule treats resources as if they have unlimited availability. Each task is scheduled against the total availability for the resource. But not against the remaining availability for the resource which takes other task assignments into consideration. This results in the shortest possible schedule, but it can also cause over-commitment of resources.
Specifies if you want Autoschedule to perform a backwards schedule from a defined deadline date. Use this option if the last task is required to be complete by the project finish date.
Default: Cleared
Note: If you schedule from the finish date, enter the finish date into the Autoschedule Date field.
Specifies to autoschedule to calculate the critical path for the entire project. When the field is selected, a separate critical path is calculated for each subnet.
Default: Cleared
Specifies to ignore started tasks during autoscheduling. Autoschedule schedules the remaining work according to normal autoschedule logic, including any task constraints.
Default: Cleared
Specifies autoscheduling. Accordingly, CA Technologies lets you exclude task resource assignment dates when the new dates stay within the task start and finish dates.
Default: Cleared
Note: This field works with the Exclude from Autoscheduling field on the task properties page.
Specifies to autoschedule to start successor tasks with zero lag the day after the predecessor task finishes. When cleared, successor tasks start the same day as the predecessor task finishes as long as the resource has availability left.
Default: Cleared
Specifies to publish the tentative schedule to the plan of record (POR) immediately. When selected, the tentative plan is created and immediately deleted, and the project gets unlocked.
Default: Cleared
