For each activity in the programme a duration (allowance) must be applied. These durations/allowances set the critical path for the logistics programme. Once a logistics programme is assigned to a job and the construction data is being captured, based on the durations set against the activities, there is potential to apply the forecasting methods discussed above. The durations/allowances set in the logistics programme can be viewed in both the Construction History screen and on a Progress Panel on the Construction Overview screen. The Progress Panel can be activated using certain Preferences in the system which summarise this information.

The activities from the call forward programmes nominated by the business for progress analysis are set up in Desktop Logistics under Administration> Analysis Links on the sidebar. The activities need to be allocated to the analysis links for each call forward programme individually.Important Note : Activities
