Selecting the Project for the Burn Down Subject Area

For a project to be included in the Burn Down tables and subject area, you must configure specific project UDF and History Level settings in P6.

To select which P6 EPPM project will be included in Burn Down tables and metrics, complete the following steps:

  1. Sign in to P6 EPPM.
  2. In P6, click Projects.
  3. On the Projects navigation bar, click EPS.
  4. On the EPS page:
    1. Select a project.
    2. From the Actions menu, select Set Project Preferences.
  5. In the Project Preferences pane, click Analytics.
  6. On the Analytics page, click the History Level list, and then select Activity.
  7. In the Project Preferences dialog box, click Save and Close.
  8. On the Projects navigation bar, click EPS.
  9. On the EPS page, add the sys_workdown and sys_workdown_date UDF columns to the page.
  10. For the projects you want to add to the Burn Down subject area:
    1. Enter project in the sys_workdown column.
    2. Enter a date value (for example, 09/30/2015) in the sys_workdown_date column. This value is used as the snapshot date for comparison to actual project values. If no value is entered here, the Project Start Date is used.

      Note: The date used for the initial Burn Down data capture is one day before the date entered for this UDF. For example, if the sys_workdown_date is 03/31/2016, then the STARETL process uses 03/30/2016 for the Burn Down comparison.
