Using Schedule Checker


General
How is Steelray Schedule Checker different from Steelray Project Analyzer?
A: The two products are similar in that they help improve schedule quality, but they take different approaches:

• Schedule Checker is an Add-in to Microsoft Project 2010. Analyzer is a standalone application.
• Schedule Checker helps you write a higher quality schedule in the same way that a spell checker helps you write a higher quality written document. Analyzer provides scorecards and sophisticated reports.
• Schedule Checker allows limited customization of the checks that it performs. Analyzer has a complete editor for creating and customizing new schedule quality criteria.

I changed my ignore settings for a Project, but it didn't get saved. What happened?
A:The first time you change an ignore setting, Schedule Checker adds a custom document property. The project file must be saved in order for the ignore settings to be saved.
