Propagate allocated time from the calculated duration

Propagating allocated time from the calculated duration copies the calculated duration to the allocated time field in the selected element.

Procedure

1. Select the line you want to have as the top line of the populate action.

The line you select is the starting point for counting the traversal of parent-child relationships when propagating calculated duration.

2. Click .

Teamcenter displays the Propagate Calculated Duration dialog box.

3. (Optional) Select Propagate up to level and enter a level number.

All leaf objects that are of a distance from the top level object that is greater than or equal to the number you specify in this option are calculated. If you do not enter a number, Teamcenter uses the default level of 0 indicating that all elements below the top element are propagated. In the following example, Station1 is selected and acts as the top element of the population.

In the following figure, if the population start depth is 0, ROOT and Station2 are not populated because they are not descendants of the top element. The elements in green are populated.

In the following figure, if the population start depth is 3, ROOT and Station2 are not populated because they are not descendents of the selected element (Station1) and Station1.1, Process1.1.1, Operation1.1.2, and Operation1.2 are not populated because they are less than three levels from Station1.

4. Click OK.

Results

If the Process Gantt view is in calculated duration mode, it updates all start times and refreshes itself after the populate operation.

If the critical path mode was turned on before this populate operation, Teamcenter turns it off because the critical path has most likely changed after population.
