User Interface and Navigation Today, most users are familiar with Windows. The User Interface and Navigation chapter introduces the functions of the windows used by Safran Project. Briefly, it describes how to effectively navigate between them using the keyboard, mouse, and screen controls. Tabs Tabs help organize a lot of information into a small space. In the diagram below, "File, "Home," "Data," "View," "Projects," Reports," and "Admin" are tabs. Safran Project makes its powerful functions available through tabs. Additionally, tabs may assist in leading one through the steps in a process. Ribbons Depending on its functionality, each tab in Safran Project contains a simple, practical ribbon. Ribbons provide a user-friendly interface, giving easy access to the commands you need to work on aspects of the project. While working with a project in Safran Project, one can hide the ribbon to maximize the available space on the screen. This can …

area. The Curtain feature may highlight periods of particular interest, such as a shutdown period, a tow-out period, the commissioning period, and more. Show Rest Periods Safran Project provides several methods to show when no work is planned to take place. You may define activity bars to be necked instead of setting a minimum rest period for drawing a neck. For example, this could be applied if you do not want bars to show regular weekends as a neck. Next, you can define a group of summary bars to be necked, drawn, detailed, or summarized. The graphical area can also highlight rest or non-working periods for a selected calendar. Click on the barchart site, select the Non-Working Periods option from the short-cut menu, select calendar, and specify a shading color.

correct encoding to ensure the correct import of text values containing national characters such as Æ/Æ/Å (or any other national character sets). Safran primarily supports UTF 16 LE encoding, ANSI , and UTF 8 BOM . If you use Excel to create your import file, you'll find that Excel doesn't allow you to choose UTF 16 LE encoding. One way of specifying this is to open the text file in Notepad and save it after having chosen the encoding as shown below: Importing Before executing the import, ensure that you are in the project you want to import the activities. From the Ribbon menu, choose File/Import/Activities. Browse the file to import from and press 'Open' from the Select Import File window.

Integrated Plan – Concepts Safran Project has a practical interface for internal data transfer within a network of integrated plans. An integrated plan network consists of two parts: Contractor Import and Internal Transfer. The first part involves importing data delivered by an external contractor on a file, which is imported into a project in the internal database, following some (user-defined) rules for mapping userfields. This means a project in the internal database is a copy of the contractor project. The second part involves transferring filtered data from single projects in the database to a main project plan. This project has a set of sub-projects, one for each project to be transferred. Again, there is a set of defined mappings where the user may define calendar, profile, resource, and userfield mapping. Contractor Import Configuration The first import of a contractor project has to be done by a standard Safran project …

higher) for the fields to be presented. Consider the screenshots/examples below: Userfields have been populated with values for all userfield types for all activities in all three projects. Userfield values are presented for the interface activity in project RV110019, as this project uses the same Userfield set as the Project Group. Userfields are also available in column lists in the Link Information sub-panel under the same assumption. In the screenshot above, userfield values are not presented for the interface activity from project RV110017 since the project does not use the userfield set specified for the project group.

The Schedule Performance Report The Schedule Performance Report supplements the Progress Summary and Six Period reports. The report has a fixed format, meaning that it contains a set of fixed columns. However, some configuration options remain, like grouping, selecting cut-off and period start dates, adding background colors, and defining and applying Safran filters. The report columns are: Column Description ID/Code Shows Activity ID or Group Code. Description Shows activity description or group code description. Original Contract Divided in two columns, periodic planned and cumulative to date. The Original Contract is the value from the first baseline. Current Baseline This is divided into two columns. The Current baseline is the value from the last baseline. Forecast Divided into two columns. The forecast is the value from the current scope and current plan. Actual The actual column shows periodic and cumulative, % complete weighted against the Baseline scope.

Change Reports Controlling change to the scope of work is essential to project control and project management principles and procedures. How these changes affect productivity, workload, manpower, etc., should be evaluated using Histogram/S-curves, Performance Charts, and Progress Summary Reports. How the schedule is impacted can be assessed using alternative parallel analysis. The Change Reports are listings that present data related to the change order or changes related to activities. From the REPORTS ribbon, you can select from four different change reports. The four reports have different views and summary options, allowing you to view changes from different perspectives. In addition to the four change reports, you can print change information using the Print option from the Change Register window. The report is identical to the detailed change report. It lets you publish all changes, selected changes, or a desired change type: variation orders (approved), requests, subcontracted work, and …

Before installing Safran Web Access please pay notice to the requirements specified in the Requirements chapter.

Symbols User-definable symbols, styles and annotations allow you to customise the Gantt chart and barchart reports for different presentation and analysis needs. A Symbol Set is assigned to each project. The symbol set contains the configurations for all symbols, styles, and annotations available in that project. One symbol set may inherit configurations from another to make using company-standard symbols and project-specific symbols easier. Within a symbol set, you can configure the activity bars' size, appearance, format, colour, positioning, and other elements. They can be drawn on different date sets (for example, baseline and live), and you can show multiple bars for each activity to aid analysis work. This is especially useful after a status update and other significant processes. Every symbol set holds eleven pre-configured symbols and you can add as many user-definable symbols as you want. The defaults are: Baseline Current Actual Start Current …

new scope is added to an existing activity, you can track and trace the original budget and the work related to the change. Safran Project allows changes to be categorized in the four different groups listed below: Type Description Variation Order A Variation Order accepted and approved by the project client. Variation Order Request A request for a Variation Order was issued to the project client. If a VOR is accepted, its status may change to VO. Internal Change Internal changes to the scope of one or more activities. Subcontracted Work Creates a record (activity) for tracking/controlling subcontracted work. With Safran Project, you may determine how changes are to be summarized and when they are included in the various scopes. By doing this, you also control how they will be considered for reporting and measurement purposes. See also the chapter on Scope and how the various change types can …
