Scheduling/Leveling Log

The leveling log displays the results of the resources or roles leveling process run from the Activities page. Because the leveling process automatically schedules the project, the log also contains the same scheduling results found in the scheduling log. The log includes start and finish times for the process, a list of the settings selected for both the scheduler and leveler, project statistics, process results, and any warnings that were encountered during the process that require attention. The leveling log also displays any errors that cause the leveler to fail. The leveler might fail if a loop is detected in the activity relationships. A loop, or circular relationship, is caused by an activity relationship that leads back to an earlier activity in the activity sequence. If the leveler fails due to a loop, then the scheduling/leveling log lists all activities involved in the loop, starting at the beginning of the relationship logic. To resolve the loop, return to the Activities page and view the relationship trace logic for the activities in the loop and remove a relationship.

The leveling log can be set to display upon completion when run from the Level dialog box on the Activities page. Select View Log in the dialog box to display the log from the most recently run process. You can also access leveling logs from the notifications panel or from the Manage Services page.
