Check Detail Drawer

Available in: All plans
Last updated: 05-Mar-2026

Overview​

The Check Detail Drawer is a slide-out panel that appears when you click on any individual quality check in the Quality tab. It shows every activity that triggered the check, the severity of each finding, the threshold that was breached, and a recommended fix.

Use the drawer to understand why a check failed and which activities need attention — without leaving the Quality tab.

Opening the Drawer​

  1. Open the Quality tab.
  2. Expand a check category (e.g., Logic Checks).
  3. Click any individual check row (e.g., "Missing Successors").
  4. The drawer slides in from the right side of the screen.

To close the drawer, click the X button in the drawer header, press Escape, or click outside the drawer.

Drawer Layout​

The drawer is divided into three sections:

ElementDescription
Check NameThe full name of the quality check (e.g., "Missing Successors")
Severity BadgeCritical (red), Warning (amber), or Info (blue)
ResultPass, Warning, or Fail with the numeric score (0–100)
ThresholdThe configured threshold that determines pass/fail (e.g., "≤ 5% of activities")

Affected Activities Grid​

A compact data grid listing every activity that triggered the check:

ColumnDescription
Activity IDThe unique activity identifier
Activity NameDescriptive name of the activity
WBSThe WBS node the activity belongs to
ValueThe measured value for this check (e.g., duration in days, float in days)
StatusFail or Warning, based on the threshold

The grid supports sorting by any column. Click a column header to sort ascending or descending.

Recommendation Panel​

Below the grid, the drawer shows:

  • What this check measures — a plain-language explanation of the check logic.
  • Why it matters — the scheduling risk introduced by the finding.
  • How to fix — step-by-step guidance for resolving the issue.

For example, a "Missing Successors" check might show:

What: Identifies activities with no successor relationships.
Why: Open-ended activities can cause the schedule to have an artificially short critical path.
Fix: Add at least one successor relationship to each flagged activity, or link them to the project finish milestone.

Click any row in the affected activities grid to navigate directly to that activity in the Activities tab. The activity is highlighted and scrolled into view. This lets you fix the issue immediately, then return to the Quality tab to see the updated score.

Threshold Details​

Each check has a configurable threshold. The drawer shows:

FieldDescription
Pass ThresholdThe maximum acceptable percentage or value (e.g., "≤ 5%")
Warning ThresholdThe level at which a warning is issued (e.g., "5%–10%")
Fail ThresholdThe level at which the check fails (e.g., "> 10%")
Current ValueThe actual measured value for your schedule

You can adjust thresholds directly from the drawer by clicking Edit Threshold, which opens the Quality Settings panel.

Tips​

  • Use the drawer to prioritise fixes — address Critical-severity findings first.
  • Sort the affected activities grid by Value to find the worst offenders.
  • After fixing activities, return to the Quality tab — scores update automatically.
  • The drawer remembers its open/closed state during your session.

Troubleshooting​

ProblemSolution
Drawer does not open when clicking a checkEnsure you are clicking the check row itself, not the category header.
Affected activities count shows 0 but check still shows WarningSome checks measure percentages at the project level. The affected list may be empty if the threshold is based on an aggregate metric.
Cannot edit thresholds from the drawerThreshold editing requires Editor Mode. Switch to Editor Mode from the toolbar.
