Open a Scenario

Open a scenario to perform project management tasks on a what-if version of your current schedule. You can modify the data in a scenario as you would the data in the current schedule. If you want to replace the data in your current schedule with the data from a scenario, you can set the scenario as the current schedule. See Set a Scenario as the Current Schedule for more information.

Use the Open menu in the page toolbar to switch between your current schedule, available scenarios, and available baselines. The list contains scenarios that are set to Visible in the Manage Scenarios dialog box.

When a scenario is open, a banner appears above the page toolbar to inform you that you are currently making changes to a scenario. This message is to remind you of the object in which you are currently working and that any changes made to the scenario are not reflected in your current schedule. The banner can be dismissed for your current session and will reappear when you reload the page.

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. In the Open menu, in the Scenarios section, select a scenario to open.
