Using Trace Logic Video

In projects with complex sequences of activity relationships, you can use the Trace Logic detail window to trace the path of relationships and view activity predecessor, successor, and other relationship details. In the detail window, adjust the zoom and fit of the display, as well as the number of activities shown. Select different activities in the detail window to trace the path of their relationships.

To view relationships using Trace Logic:

  1. Navigate to the Activities page
  2. In the table, select an activity.
  3. On the Layout menu, select Activity Details, and then select the Trace Logic detail window.
  4. In the Trace Logic detail window, configure the following settings:
    • Pan: Depending on your predecessor and successor settings, selecting an activity can change the trace logic display. Use Pan to move the display in any direction without selecting an activity.
    • Zoom Out: Zoom out of the displayed sequence of activities.
    • Zoom In: Zoom in on the displayed sequence of activities.
    • Zoom to Fit: Adjusts the view to display all activities in the sequence. Hover over an activity to view it at normal size.
