Codes such as DA10-H.01 and DA20-H.02 are grouped by demo department and project reference. New matching codes are picked up when you load an updated schedule. Retired and other scope exclusions still apply.

  1. Open the project or projects in P6.
  2. Choose File → Export → Primavera PM (XER), then select the projects and finish the export.

  2. Load Baseline XER and Previous-period XER if required, then select the comparison projects above.
  3. Or choose Excel Dashboard to read a compatible workbook. Check the selected source and data date.

Demo-account activities, descriptions, dates and statuses refresh automatically. Use Add Other Activities only for entries outside the detected list. Files stay in your browser session.

  2. Click a dial to inspect its formula and affected activities.
  3. Perform the critical path stress test in P6 and enter its evidence under Sources → P6 Verification. Enter P6 critical path length and float for CPLI.

Automatic checks update on import or filter changes. Reviewer overrides require a reason. No Excel Update button is needed.

4 · Start / Finish & Late-Date Reports
  1. Automatic Chart Periods uses the imported schedule and P6 late dates.
  2. Untick Automatic Chart Periods only when you want a custom reporting window.
  3. Open Start / Finish Reports or Late Start / Late Finish, then select the required view. Click a point or signal for the source records.

Reports refresh immediately. No manual Update Start/Finish button is required.
