View changes in the project schedule and add savepoints

Snapshots represent the baseline plan at previous points in time. Each time you make a change to the project schedule, Tekla EPM automatically takes a snapshot. You can then use the snapshots to compare the project schedule at two different points in time and view the impacts of changing the schedule. You can also load existing snapshots to view the project schedule at a particular point in time. If you want to mark the snapshot as a particularly important point in time, you can record it as a savepoint.

  1. Click the arrow on the left side of Snapshots to expand the Snapshots section.

    You can see the currently displayed snapshot after Currently Viewing Snapshot. If you are viewing the current project schedule, the value will be [Current].

  2. Do any of the following:

    Load a snapshot

    1. Click the arrow on the right side of the Schedule Snapshot field, and select a snapshot in the list.

      If you only want the list to display the savepoints that have been recorded, select the Only Show Savepoints check box.

    2. Click Load Snapshot.

    The Project Schedule dialog box displays the project schedule at the selected point in time.

    To view the current project schedule again, in the Schedule Snapshot list, select [Current].

    Record a savepoint

    1. In the Project Schedule dialog box, make any changes.

    2. Click Record Savepoint.

    3. In the first confirmation dialog box, click Yes to save the changes you made.

    4. In the second confirmation dialog box, click Yes to confirm entering edit mode.

      When you are in the edit mode, other users cannot make conflicting changes to the project schedule.

    5. In the Snapshot: Edit Mode dialog box, type a description for the savepoint.

    6. Ensure that the Is Savepoint check box is selected.

    7. Click Save.

    8. In the third confirmation dialog box, click Yes to confirm entering edit mode.

      This way, no other user can make conflicting changes to the project schedule at the same time.
