Graphical View (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0, the following enhancements of the graphical view are available:

  • Version comparison in the Gantt chart for snapshots, simulations, and forecasted dates
  • You can do a version comparison of an operational project in the Gantt chart for snapshots, simulations, and forecasted dates. The forecasted date, simulation, or snapshot are shown as shaded bar per project element. You can compare changes of the operational project with original planned schedule or view the impact of a project simulation for the future more easily.

  • Starting from a snapshot or a simulation, you can also compare a snapshot or a simulation with an operational project or another snapshot, simulation, or forecasted dates.

  • In addition, the columns Deviation, Version Start, and Version Finish are available which complement comparison with snapshots or simulations. If you compare a project with its forecasted dates, the columns Deviation, Forecasted Start and Forecasted Finish are available.

  • You can also open the comparison for a simulation or a snapshot directly from the Gantt chart to see which changes have been made besides the schedule (such as status or documents, and so on). The direct connection to the comparison reduces navigation and thus improves the usability of the solution.

  • You can also open the graphical version comparison from the reconciliation screen.

  • The field control data for the source project is also taken for the target project (and not the own field control of the target project).

  • Scheduling conflicts are visualized
  • Scheduling conflicts can be highlighted in the Gantt chart. The rows of project elements with a conflict are highlighted. This enables you to identify conflicts in the Gantt chart and gives you a better overview of all conflicts across the project schedule. You can take immediate action to solve the scheduling conflicts directly in the Gantt chart. In this context is particularly useful to directly access the project details.

  • The option to deactivate this feature in the user settings gives you the flexibility to choose whether you want to see the scheduling conflicts.

  • Access to project details
  • You can access and edit the most important project details per project element directly from the Gantt chart by clicking the object and choosing Details. There is no need to switch back to the project details to work on the Basic Data tab, and the Dates and Work tab, for example. The following detail tabs are shown in the dialog box that appears in the graphic:

- Basic Data
- Dates and Work
- Additional Data
- Notes
- The tab containing custom fields (if customized)
  • Edit Relationships
  • You can now edit the lag within the dialog box of a relationship directly in the Gantt chart.

  • Improved printing of the Gantt chart
  • In previous releases, the option to define a specific time frame for the printing of a Gantt chart was not available. You can now set a date ranges defining the print area of the project in a dialog box via the Settings pushbutton. There two fields Start Date and Finish Date are displayed If the dates are set, only the defined range is shown in the print preview and only this range is printed. If only the start date is set, the project is displayed from that date to the end of the project. If only the finish date is set, the project is shown from the beginning of the project until the defined finish date. This is in particular a benefit for you if you only want to focus on a specific time frame of a larger project.

  • The defined time frame is also complemented by the new Date Range view. This view only shows the defined date range.

  • The improved printing of the Gantt chart is also available in the multi-project monitor.

  • Views for the Gantt chart
  • Two new views are available and the other views were slightly adjusted concerning the visible time frame, to enable a better handling of scheduling. The following new views are are available:

  • The new view Date Range complements the option to set a Start Date and Finish Date.

  • The new view Fitonly shows the complete project without any overlap of the visible time frame at the beginning and the end of the project.

  • BAdI Enhancements
  • The method DISPLAY_ADDITIONAL_FIELDS of the BAdI DPR_GANTT supports the option to make additional customer fields and standard fields visible as columns in the Gantt chart. For more information, see Customizing for Project Management under Global Enhancements to Project Elements-> Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) -> BAdI: Check or Change Graphical View Display.
