The Graphical Template report allow users to print out a copy of their template, displaying all tasks in a Gantt Chart based on logic within the template. This allows for better visualization of the template and allows for easier edits during template building. This is a tool that can be used both in template creation and in template reviews. Based on the number of tasks and construction days associated with the specified template, this report could span multiple printed pages.

To generate the report:

1. Choose a Division from the drop-down filter. The list of templates in the selected division appear in the Template filter.

2. Choose a Template from the drop-down filter.

3. Click the Generate Report button.

Where does that come from?

Below is a list of information in the Graphical Template report and where the information comes from.

Report Filters

Division – Lists all divisions under the user’s org. If the user is a division-user, the filter is pre-populated with the user’s division.

Template – Lists all templates (active and inactive) in the selected division.

Report Columns

Template Days – Displays the construction days associated with the template. Each construction day represents one ‘block’ of time. The first task within the schedule appears under the column ‘1’ block.

Task Duration – Displays the task duration associated with the task in green-filled blocks. For example, if a task starts on Day ‘1’ and ends on Day ’1’ the duration equals one block of time, and one block will be green. If the task duration spans multiple days, all affected days will be green. For example, if a task starts on Day ‘1’and ends on Day ‘3’ the duration will equal three blocks of time, and three blocks will be green.

Task Lead Days – Displays the lead duration associated with the task with white blocks outlined in red. For example, if a task starting on Day ‘5’ has a ten-day lead time, then the lead time duration will equal ten ‘blocks’ of time, thus spanning blocks ‘- 6’ through ‘4’ on the report.

Task Name – Displays the task name next to the last day the task occurs in the schedule.
