Navigating to Plot Plans

If you are using the Classic Navigation

(1) Expand the left-side navigation menu and click on (2) Project Information > (3) Plot Plans.

If you are using the New Navigation

(1) Expand the left-side menu and click on (2) Early Planning > (3) Path of Construction.

After following either set of instructions above, you should see the Plot Plans grid.

The Path of Construction View

Click on the View button at the top and then choose Path of Construction in the list.

Under Variables, fill in each of the inputs.

  1. Project Start Date - the starting date for the project

  2. Project End Date - the ending date for the project

  3. Project Duration - automatically calculated based on Project Start Date and End Date

  4. Concurrent CWAs - how many CWAs will be active at a given time

  5. Default CWA Duration - the duration of each CWA

When you're done entering the above, click generate. This will create a sequence and timeline based on your inputs.

You can adjust a CWA's Planned Start or Finish Date by dragging and dropping the beginning or end of its bar.

The toolbar at the top lets you see a playback of your CWA's sequence.

The Timeline View

The Timeline View behaves similarly to the Path of Construction View with the exception of not being able to auto generate your Level 1 schedule.

Click on the View button at the top and choose Timeline View in the list.

Using the toolbar at the top, you can see a playback of your Level 1 schedule.

Click on the Legend icon on the right to see the color key.

You can adjust your CWA's Planned Start and Finish Dates by dragging and dropping the beginning and end of its bars.
