Information in the Snapshot​

If you hover the cursor over a planning element in a snapshot, you'll see:

  • Delay warnings — for elements that have shifted later
  • Overrun warnings — for elements that exceed their planned duration

All planning elements in the snapshot that cause delays or overruns are colored red, allowing you to immediately identify which changes have led to project delays and by how much.

If changes result in time savings, the affected snapshot elements are colored green.

tip
  • You can display up to three snapshots simultaneously in the planning.
  • If the snapshot display is too small, increase the row height in the Gantt chart. Click the dots on the right and select row height Large or Very large.
