Set a Scenario as the Current Schedule

Video

If you determine that a specific scenario should become the new project schedule, you can set the scenario as the current schedule. When a scenario is set as the new current schedule, scenario details such as dates, durations, units, costs, assignments, and relationships overwrite the details in the previous current schedule, including any progress updates made to the current schedule.

Note: Setting a scenario as the current schedule overwrites all current schedule data except for stored period data for activities that are present in both the current schedule and the scenario, and that are also started in the scenario. This action cannot be undone. The process runs in the background, and you will receive a notification when the process completes. It is recommended that all users not make changes to the schedule until the process is complete.

To set a scenario as the current schedule:

1. Navigate to the project Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project, select View Projects List, and then select a project name.
   2. From the  Main Menu, select  Schedule, and then select Activities.
2. On the Activities page, open a scenario.
3. Select Actions , and then select Set as Current Schedule.
4. In the Set as Current Schedule dialog box, select Set.

Tips

• After your schedule has been successfully replaced, you may want to run the scheduler and recalculate costs to ensure that all data is consistent with the current schedule's data date.
• Risk exposure start and finish dates will be updated when a scenario is set as the current schedule.
• When a scenario is set as the current schedule, the scenario is hidden and its status is changed to Retired. A copy of the previous current schedule is created as a scenario. It is also hidden and its status is changed to Retired. You can make these scenarios visible in the Manage Scenarios dialog box. Retired scenarios are read-only, and cannot be deleted.
• Use the Open menu in the Activities page toolbar to switch between scenarios. Select View All in the list to open the Manage Scenarios dialog box.
