Finding jobs in the critical path

This procedure describes how to find the dependent jobs in the longest path for a series of jobs.

To find jobs in the critical path:

1. In a Viewpoint, Analysis tab, select .

   The Critical Path fields appear at the top of the Map view.

2. In the flow diagram, expand all jobs between the first and last jobs in the dependent group of jobs.

   The last is a descendant of the first job, but not immediately below it.

3. Select the first job and then select the last jobs while clicking the CTRL key.

   The first and last jobs are both selected.

4. Set the Use and Overlapping Tolerance fields, as described in Critical Path fields.
5. Click .

   The results of the search appear in the Results area at the bottom of the Map view area. The tab has the name based on the path, the first and last node names, the number of nodes and the average or last run time. You can then view it highlighted in the flow diagram, Gantt view, or List view.
