Status Integrity Checker

Status Integrity Check performs a 5-point analysis to help ensure progress measurement does not interfere with Critical Path calculations. It then displays the results in an Excel spreadsheet, without disturbing the schedule file contents.

Step 1 -

Click Status Integrity Check

With the file to be analyzed open and active, click Status Integrity Check on the SDSI Analysis Tools toolbar as shown (you may also select it from the SDSI Analysis Tools menu under the Tools drop-down menu).

Step 2 -

Click “Yes”

Once activated, you will see the following dialog box. Click “Yes” to analyze the file and generate the report. You may exit the utility without the analysis being performed or the report being generated by clicking “No”.

Step 3 -

Enter the Date

After clicking “Yes” on the prior dialog box, you will be prompted to enter the As Of date for the analysis. Please enter the date in the format indicated. Only after the date is entered, click “OK”.

Step 4 -

Click “OK”

When processing is complete, the following dialog box will appear. You may also notice that Microsoft Excel has been launched. Click “OK”.

Step 5 -

Click “OK”

After acknowledging process completion, you will see the following dialog box. When you click “OK” to this, Microsoft Excel will close. Make sure you review your results and save the spreadsheet if desired before clicking “OK” on this dialog box.

Step 6 -

Your Excel report

These represent some of the results that will appear in your Excel report. There will be one sheet for each analysis performed. If the sheet is blank except for the header, then that analysis revealed nothing in the schedule file indicating improper schedule status. You should pay particular attention to results on the “Statused Out-of-Sequence” sheet as this indicates status was entered in a manner not supported by schedule logic and may adversely affect critical path calculations for the file.
