Validate Project Schedule
You can check the validity of your schedule, by identifying items that have
not been included in any task, are duplicated in multiple tasks or, are in
overlapping tasks. This is especially useful, when you use rules to attach tasks.
An item may remain unattached for a number of reasons. For example, a task
in the project scheduling file is omitted, or the geometry item has not been
included in a selection or search set.
To check a schedule
1 If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab ➤ Tools
panel ➤ TimeLiner
.
2 In the TimeLiner window, the Tasks tab, right-click the tasks view,
and click Find. If this option is not available, open the Options Editor,
and click Tools ➤ TimeLiner ➤ Enable Find check box.
