Recalculate Period Template

[About MS Graphs] [To Master Scheduling]

Explanation

Use this activity to recalculate the period template selected in the Cumulative MS graphic window. This recalculation is necessary if the selected Level 0 or Level 1 part's last run date does not match the begin date of the selected period template. 

Prerequisites

This activity requires that a Level 0 or Level 1 part exists, along with a period template.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system displays the Recalculate Period Template dialog box. When you click OK in this dialog box, the system recalculates the selected period template's begin date to make it match the Level 1 part's last run date. This match is necessary in the system's graph calculations.
