Configure Quality Settings

Time: ~10 minutes Level: Intermediate Applies to: Pro · Enterprise

What You Will Learn​

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:

  • Adjust individual check thresholds to match your project standards
  • Configure weightage by WBS or activity code
  • Set up Primavera attribute mappings
  • Save and apply custom quality configurations

Prerequisites​

  • A Kazinex account on the Pro or Enterprise tier
  • A schedule loaded with a quality score already calculated (see Achieve a 90+ Quality Score)

Step 1 — Open Quality Settings​

Access the settings panel from the Quality tab.

  1. Open the Quality tab.
  2. Click the gear icon in the Quality toolbar.
  3. The Quality Settings panel opens.

What you should see: A settings panel with sections for Thresholds, Weightage Configuration, and Primavera Attributes.

Step 2 — Review Default Thresholds​

Understand the starting values before making changes.

  1. Scroll through the Thresholds section.
  2. Note the default values for key checks:
    • High Duration: 44 working days
    • High Float: 44 working days
    • Negative Float threshold: 0 days
    • Zero Duration awareness: enabled
  3. Each threshold has a description explaining what it controls.

What you should see: A list of threshold fields with numeric inputs and descriptions. Default values follow industry best practice based on DCMA 14-Point Assessment guidelines.

Step 3 — Adjust a Threshold​

Change a threshold to match your project requirements.

  1. Find the High Duration threshold.
  2. Change the value from 44 days to 60 days.
  3. Find the High Float threshold.
  4. Change it from 44 days to 50 days.
  5. These changes mean activities up to 60 days are acceptable and float up to 50 days does not trigger a warning.

What you should see: The input fields accept your new values. A preview or note may indicate how many activities would be affected by the change.

Step 4 — Configure Weightage by WBS​

Assign different scoring weights to different parts of the WBS.

  1. Open the Weightage Configuration section.
  2. Select WBS as the grouping method.
  3. A list of WBS Level 2 (or Level 3) nodes appears.
  4. Assign a higher weight to critical sections (for example, "Commissioning" gets 30% weight).
  5. Assign lower weights to less critical sections (for example, "Temporary Works" gets 5% weight).
  6. Ensure all weights sum to 100%.

What you should see: A table of WBS nodes with weight percentage inputs. The quality engine will score each WBS section separately and combine them using these weights.

Step 5 — Configure Weightage by Activity Code (Alternative)​

Use activity codes instead of WBS for weightage.

  1. In the Weightage Configuration section, switch to Activity Code grouping.
  2. Select an activity code type (for example, "Phase").
  3. Assign weights to each code value: "Design" 20%, "Construction" 60%, "Commissioning" 20%.
  4. This approach scores each phase independently.

What you should see: A dropdown for the code type and weight fields for each code value. Choose either WBS or Activity Code — not both simultaneously.

Step 6 — Set Up Primavera Attribute Mappings​

Configure how Kazinex interprets Primavera-specific attributes.

  1. Open the Primavera Attributes section.
  2. Map calendar types — choose which Primavera calendar format your schedule uses.
  3. Map percent complete types — tell the engine which percent complete field to prioritise.
  4. Map duration types — specify how durations are calculated in your P6 project.

What you should see: Dropdown fields for each Primavera attribute mapping. These settings help the quality engine correctly interpret P6-specific data.

Step 7 — Save Your Configuration​

Persist your custom settings.

  1. Review all changes in the settings panel.
  2. Click Save at the bottom of the panel.
  3. The quality engine recalculates the score using your new configuration.

What you should see: A brief loading indicator while the score recalculates. The Quality dashboard updates to reflect the new thresholds and weightage.

Step 8 — Verify the Updated Scores​

Confirm that your settings are applied correctly.

  1. Close the Settings panel and return to the Quality dashboard.
  2. Check the overall score — it may differ from before depending on your threshold changes.
  3. Expand individual categories to verify that checks use your new thresholds.
  4. If using WBS or activity code weightage, note that the category scores may be weighted differently now.

What you should see: Quality scores that reflect your custom configuration. WBS sections with higher weights have a proportionally larger impact on the overall score.

What's Next?​

Troubleshooting​

IssueSolution
Save button is greyed outEnsure your weights sum to 100%. The save button disables when validation fails.
Score did not change after savingYour threshold changes may not affect the current schedule. Only checks with activities near the threshold boundary will shift.
Weightage section is emptyEnsure your schedule has a WBS structure or activity codes assigned. Weightage requires grouping data to work with.
Primavera attributes not availableThese settings only apply to schedules imported from P6. Other formats may not have these attributes.
