Saving and committing a Graphical Scheduling project

You can save a Graphical Scheduling project without committing the schedule to the Change. When you are ready to commit the schedule, you can do so.

Procedure

  1. To save modifications that you have made during a Graphical Scheduling session, click Save icon. This does not modify the schedule values in the Change that you are scheduling.
  2. To pull non-schedule-related modifications, such as task descriptions, from the Change into your Graphical Scheduling project, click Refresh icon. This does not pull any schedule-related information; therefore, it does not overwrite your Graphical Scheduling modifications.
  3. When you are ready to move your schedule modifications to the Change record, click Commit Changes.

What to do next

Note: When you launch to the Graphical Scheduling application for the first time from a Change that you are scheduling, commit the scheduled dates back to the Change, and then select Return With Value, you are unable to save the Change from within the Changes application. This occurs because the dates of the Change have changed, and the new information conflicts with the information in the current Change record.

To ensure that you can save the Change with the new dates, select Return to return to the Changes application. The Scheduler Project field in the Change record is blank. Leave and reenter the Change record. After you reenter the Change, you manually select the project using the Select Value option in the Scheduler Project field, and the name of the project is then displayed.
