Storing Period Performance

Use the Store Period Performance feature, to track actual units and costs to date. This feature allows you to track previous periods and compare current and future trends.

To store period performance:

On the Navigation Menu, expand Projects and click Activities.
1. On the Activities page, click Actions and select Store Period Performance.
2. In the Store Period Performance dialog box, select projects for which you want to store performance and click Store.

Tip

To select or clear all projects, select or clear the option at the top of the options column.
These services are removed from the database based on the ASAP Cleanup Rate your P6 administrator specifies on the Configurations tab in Primavera P6 Administrator. Once the time is met all ASAP jobs that have a status other than running or delegated will be removed from the table automatically. Running and delegated jobs will be removed if they are older than the cleanup rate or if they are older than one day, whichever is greater.
P6 includes only data in spreads. To see up to date spread data, select Actions, Run, Store Period Performance and then ensure that the project has been republished.
Stored period data is always spread evenly across the entire period, even when Units Spread is selected under Cost Spread on the General page of Application Settings.
