Calculate Schedule Status

The Schedule Status for a task indicates whether a task is on time, behind or late. 

Using Warn Thresholds, dspTrack™ can give users a nuanced understanding of a task’s schedule status so that resources can be allocated or a project plan can be updated before the plan becomes late.

These thresholds are set at the plan level and expressed as percentages of the entire duration of a task.

Schedule status displays for tasks on the Work List and the Plan Task page. Schedule status is calculated for tasks in both active and inactive plans.

The Schedule Status icon is a circle that displays in a color that indicates the task’s schedule status. A green icon means the task is on time according to the project plan. A yellow icon indicates the task is behind. A red icon indicates the task is late.

NOTE: Work List items added on the Work List Setup page are not associated with projects or plans, and the schedule status is calculated based on the planned finish date. A Work List item’s schedule status is green until the current date is later than the planned finish date, at which point the schedule status is red. It does not turn yellow.
