What a planner means

Display the Activity Usage Profile is Oracle Display the Activity Usage Profile. Activities window active. View, Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile; or Layout Options bar → Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile; or click on the Bottom Layout toolbar. It opens the view. It is a how-to. It is not stored as its own table. It does not create, edit, or delete a relationship. It is not the Activity Usage Profile object note, not Define the Activity Usage Profile, not Display the Resource Usage Profile, not Display the Activity Usage Spreadsheet, not Display the Gantt Chart, not TASKPRED, not EPPM copied onto Professional, and not Microsoft Resource Graph.

Oracle does print a how-to titled Display the Activity Usage Profile. Oracle does not print a menu item named Display the Activity Usage Profile. The menu that how-to prints is View, Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile. Do not invent View > Display the Activity Usage Profile. Do not invent View, Show on Top for this profile.

Oracle Display the Activity Usage Profile (Professional):

  • "With the Activities window active, do one of the following:"
  • "Click on the Bottom Layout toolbar."
  • "Choose View, Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile."
  • "Click the Layout Options bar and choose Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile."
  • "The numbers on the left side of the Activity Usage Profile correspond to the vertical bars. The numbers on the right side of the Activity Usage Profile correspond to the cumulative curves (these numbers appear only if you include cumulative curves in the profile)."

That how-to fetched prints no OK, no Apply, no Save, no Yes, no Show on Top, and no toolbar button name. Do not invent those on this how-to.

The Activity Usage Profile is a different object note. The histogram. Leave Activity Usage Profile as the object.

Define the Activity Usage Profile is a different how-to. Display Options bar → Activity Usage Profile Options.

Display the Resource Usage Profile is a different how-to. Show on Bottom, Resource Usage Profile.

Display the Gantt Chart is a different how-to. Show on Top or Show on Bottom, Gantt Chart. See Display the Gantt Chart.

Professional vs EPPM

Professional — Activities window; View, Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile; or Layout Options bar → Show on Bottom, Activity Usage Profile; or Bottom Layout toolbar. No OK / Apply on that page.

EPPM web — the Professional how-to page is the source for this note. Do not invent an EPPM Activity Usage Profile command. Do not copy Professional Show on Bottom onto EPPM.

Primavera Cloud is a different product. Do not copy it here.

XER

The how-to is not an XER table. Oracle’s project XER map TOC has no ACTUSAGE / PROFILE / HISTOGRAM table. Do not invent a view %T. Displaying the profile does not write TASK. Layouts travel as .plf. A Viewer cannot reconstruct that the planner used this how-to.

Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project has a Resource Graph. Do not map that as P6 Display the Activity Usage Profile. Do not claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.

Don't

  • Invent View > Display the Activity Usage Profile, Show on Top, OK, Apply, Save, Yes, or a toolbar button name on this how-to.
  • Collapse this onto the Activity Usage Profile object, Define, Resource Usage Profile, or the Activity Usage Spreadsheet.
  • Copy Professional Show on Bottom onto EPPM.
  • Invent an ACTUSAGE XER table, or reconstruct the how-to from TASK dates.
  • Map MSP Resource Graph as this how-to.
  • Claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.
