myPM SCG: Configuration FAQ

CAN myPM SCG USE MS PROJECT FILES (.MPP) TO GENERATE S CURVES?
No. Before myPM SCG can be used to generate a S Curve, the data in MS Project must be exported to MS Excel. This can be accomplished using an Export Map. Ensure the required fields are exported (ie Baseline Start & Finish Dates, Actual Start & Finish Dates, Man Hours, Costs, % Complete, Filter field, etc.) Please refer to the MS Project Help / Documentation for detailed information on exporting data to MS Excel.

CAN mPM SCG USE MS ACCESS DATABASES (.MDB) TO GENERATE S CURVES?
No. Before myPM SCG can be used to generate a S Curve, the data in MS Access must be exported to MS Excel. Ensure the required fields are exported (ie Baseline Start & Finish Dates, Actual Start & Finish Dates, Man Hours, Costs, % Complete, Filter field, etc.) Please refer to the MS Access Help / Documentation for detailed information on exporting data to MS Excel.

WHAT IS THE SOURCE FILTER?
The Source Filter is used to determine which records in the Source File should be processed. The Source Filter is commonly used when the the original data is maintained in MS Project, and exported to MS Excel. A Flag Field defined in the MS Project Data table is used to determine which Tasks (eg. Summary or Detail) should be processed by myPM SCG. The Source Filter should be used to ensure only Summary or Detail tasks are processed, and not both.

WHAT IS THE CUT OFF DATE?
The Cut Off date is used by myPM SCG to calculate the Actual S Curve. It should be set to the date the Source File was last updated. It must be within the range of the first Actual Start Date and the last Actual Finish Date. If it is outside this range, myPM SCG will automatically reset it as appropriate.
