Image RemovedImage Added

In the Workflow View, each task has a Run Criteria evaluation label:

Run
- A variable condition is not specified, and the forecasted task is scheduled to run based on the criteria.
Run*
- A variable condition is specified, and the forecasted task is tentatively scheduled to run based on the variable data available at the time of the forecast but is subject to change at run time.

Skip
- A variable condition is not specified, and the forecasted task is scheduled to skip based on the criteria.

Skip*
- A variable condition is specified, and the forecasted task is tentatively scheduled to skip based on the variable data available at the time of the forecast but is subject to change at run time.

Not Evaluated
- A variable condition is specified, however, an unresolved variable and/or function was detected during the evaluation.

If you enabled Calculate Critical Path:

Task instances and connectors in the Critical Path display in the color specified by the Critical Path Color
Run/skip criteria is resolved based upon the date specified in the Forecast option.

Note

You can choose to show or hide skipped tasks in the Workflow View of the Forecast just as you can on a Workflow Monitor.
