Correct answerA
ExplanationExplanation: Storing of Period Performance When billing in Excel (AIA form) or in the P6 schedule the current billing period amounts must be "rolled" or moved to the Previously Billed or Actual Cost categories before starting a new billing period. When the billing has been approved and finalized in the AIA form it can be copied to a new file for use in the next billing period. To "roll" or clear out the This Period amounts in Excel, the current period amounts will have to be added into the Previous Application column cells. This creates a starting point for the new billing period. Note: In P6, by default, actuals will be distributed evenly across time periods. For example, we set up an activity to start the first day of May, and we have actuals for the month of May of 15 hours. We have actuals for the month of June of 25 hours. P6 will display this as 20 hours for May and 20 hours for June. To get the exact amount of hours for each month, you have to store period performance. To do this, take the following steps: 1.) Set up your financial periods: Select Admin, Financial Periods from the Menu Bar You can either add your financial periods manually, or set up a batch run by entering the start date and end date and how often the period should be created. 2.) Enter your actuals for the resource into the column, Actuals This Period. It will also put the same amount in the Actual Units Column; at the end of May, Actuals This Period would have 15 hours, as would Actual Units. 3.) When you are done with the update, do Tools, Store Period Performance. This will move the Actuals this Period to the appropriate financial period and zero out the Actuals This Period column. At the end of June, enter 25 hours in Actual This Period. Actuals This Period will have 25 hours and Actual Units will have 40 hours. 4.) To view the financial periods, do the following: Click Edit, User Preferences Click on the Application Tab Enter the Financial Periods that you would like to view. In the Activity Window, add the financial period columns (they will start with the financial period).
A Physical % complete activity has an original duration of 10, and a remaining duration of 10. The actual start is assigned to the activity. Physical % is updated to equal 80%. What is the remaining duration for this activity?

Correct answerC
ExplanationExplanation: One idea behind Portfolio Analysis in P6 is that it gives you the ability to quickly make ad-hoc reports. You can quickly change the view and alter what data is displayed and in what form. There are two main kinds of views -- scorecards and graphs. Note: In the context of creating a scorecard: Choosing data to display There are three areas that you can customize on a scorecard: Columns, Group, and Waterline. Screenshot (compare to screenshot in the question):  Columns The columns available are a mixture of Project-level data as well as WBS-level data. You can choose any of these columns on the left-hand side and press the right-arrow to move them to the Selected Columns. On the right-hand side you may re-order the columns by selecting them and using the up and down arrows. You can choose the default sorting of the data as well. Once on the scorecard screen, you can change the order by simply clicking on the column headers. The option Show Project Requests determines whether potential projects should also be included in the scorecard.

Correct answerC
ExplanationExplanation: About Schedule Preview After modifying activity, relationship, and assignment data, but before deciding to formally schedule a project, use the optional Schedule Preview feature to estimate schedule changes without actually committing them to the project. Schedule Preview automatically recalculates the schedule for activities that have changed or were affected by a change to a relationship, resource assignment, or another activity. You can then decide to commit these changes to the schedule or, if the preview produces unwanted results, discard them. If Schedule Preview is disabled, changes to activities are not reflected in the schedule until you manually calculate the schedule again.

Correct answerD
ExplanationExplanation: Project profiles Define a user's access to project-specific information. The Project Management module does not require that each user be assigned a project profile; however, users cannot access projects unless they are assigned a project profile or the global profile, Admin Superuser. Note: To ensure security at various levels of data, the Project Management module provides two sets of security profiles: * Global profiles Define a user's access to application-wide information and settings, such as the enterprise project structure (EPS), resources, roles, and cost accounts. Each user must be assigned a global profile. (B) * Note 1: The following diagram illustrates the relationships between a user, the OBS, EPS, and WBS.  Note 2: Users in Primavera P6 require two different profiles to control what they can do in the system; a Global Security Profile and a Project Security Profile.
