Troubleshooting data validations
The Scheduler Data Manager application validates the data that you include in your schedules and work lists. When errors are found in the data that is included, you can make corrections or exclusions as needed.
You use the Scheduler Data Manager application to test your data for scheduling and assignment
best practices. You can check your data before you view it in the graphical view, or at any time to
catch and change any potential problems. The application looks at the key data components of the
schedule or work list, specifically the following items:
- Calendar
- Queries
- Work
- Dependencies
- Assignments
- Resources
Tab | Parameters |
---|---|
Calendar |
|
Queries |
|
Work |
|
Dependencies |
|
Resources |
|
For each category, click Validate, review the data rows in the table, and review any errors or warnings. In many cases you can fix the issue in the table, which updates the associated records and improves your schedule.
For larger or rolling schedules, consider running validation through a scheduled a cron task, so you can review the results regularly.
