Monitor a threshold

You can monitor a specific threshold or you can monitor all thresholds at once.

Tip

• For start and finish date thresholds, it is best to monitor the threshold after applying actuals but before scheduling. This prevents numerous issues from being generated when only one activity causes the problem. Scheduling prior to monitoring would cause successor activities to be included in the monitor that are really not an issue.

To monitor all thresholds at once

1. Choose Tools, Monitor Thresholds.
2. To monitor the thresholds using their original monitor timeframe, choose Use Original Threshold Monitor Windows.
   
   To specify a new monitor timeframe, choose Use New Threshold Monitor Window, then, in the From Date and To Date fields, click to select new dates.
   
3. Click Monitor.

To monitor a specific threshold

1. Choose Project, Thresholds.
2. Select the threshold you want to monitor.
3. Click on the Edit toolbar.

Note

• If you monitor a threshold whose status is Disabled, no issues are generated.
