Event Dependency Visuals
The Event Dependency Visual displays all Tasks across all Runbooks in the Event. By default on this listing only tasks will be included. If you wish to add Stage Headers and Runbooks into the view then you can do so by enabling the Checkboxes.
The Event Dependency Visual can be accessed from the Event List Tasks screen.
Runbooks will be coloured Green, they will show the Runbook ID and Name
Stages will be coloured Blue and will be prefixed with the word Stage
Completed Tasks and Stage will show as Dark Blue
Pending Tasks show as Grey
Milestone Tasks show as Orange
Finish to Start and Start to Start Dependencies
Start to Start Dependencies will show with the dependency connector coming from the the Start of the Task (left hand side) and connecting to the Start of its Successor Task.
Finish to Start Dependencies will show the connector of the Predecessor Task joining its Successor Task from the End of the Task (right hand side) and joining at the Start of the Successor Task.
Hovering over the Dependency Connectors will also launch a pop detailing information with regards to the Task Dependencies.
Critical Path
If a Task falls on the Event Critical they will have a Dark Blue border be connected with Dark Blue Connectors, tasks which are not part of the will have a Grey connector.
Any Tasks which are External Dependencies between Runbooks will show the a Red border around the task box and have a Red Connector.
Creating Custom Views
From the dependency visualisation you can create your own custom view via the Create View Button.
This will launch the dependencies view modal window.
From here you can choose which information you want to see in the dependency visual, for example while running a Cutover you may not want to see any Completed Tasks therefore you would opt not to check this box. Or you may only want to see Tasks which form the Event Critical Path.
You must give the view a name.
This view will then prevail on every login.
To amend the view, you can click on the Maintain View and make the necessary changes.
Show Planned Times
From the Dependency Visualisation you have the ability to view planned times against the actual times and see where time was gained or lost in the plan. To enable this toggle the show Planned Time to Yes.
On enabling the Show Planned Times a Dark Grey line will be added to visual so you can easily see if there were differences in the tasks starting and completing times.
Dependency Zoom and Task Focus
To focus in on a certain time frame in the dependency visual you have the ability via the date picker to choose the time period you wish to focus on. Tasks will only show if they start and stop within the selected time frame.
You also have the ability to zoom via the + and - from the buttons on the top right of the dependency visual.
If you right click on the task title and choose Task Focus a modal window will be launched which will focus in on the chosen task and show all predecessors and successors.
Task Activation and Completion
From the right click menu you also have the ability to Activate and Complete Tasks.
