Reject Rule in Scenario Conditions

The Reject condition allows you to reject one or more changes from a schedule update and reenact the analysis as if those changes were not applied going forward. Use it when you want to see how the project would evolve if certain planned changes were never accepted.

Use the Reject rule to evaluate:

• If change order activities did not exist
• Test if the sequencing of work remained as it was in the baseline
• An analysis that does not contain changes you do not agree with
  
  

To Create a Reject Condition:

1. Click the Project name from the Project List.
2. Click Modeling from the top menu bar.
3. Click conditions from the left side menu.
4. Click + Condition from the top right of the screen and click Reject.
5. Select Schedule
   1. Choose the latest schedule where the change(s) occurred
   2. Click Next
6. Changes
   1. Change view if needed (e.g. from “Critical Changes” to “Flagged Changes”)
   2. Check the boxes in the Reject column beside flagged changes you want to exclude
   3. Click Next
7. Review / Rule Name
   1. Enter a name for your new Reject rule
   2. Click Create, then Close
      
      

The new Reject rule becomes available in Conditions.

To Create and Apply a Model with the Reject Rule:

1. Go to the Project Workspace by clicking the project from the Project List.
2. Click Modeling from the top menu bar.
3. Click + Model from the top right of the screen.
4. Go to Advanced Model 
5. Enter the model name & description. Then click Next
6. Select Schedules: click “Select All” (or specific ones), then click Next
7. Select your new Reject rule, then click Save/Close

You’ll receive a notification when the analysis is complete.
