This activity is used to generate a sorting based on the dependencies defined in the Gantt chart. Since it is only possible to enter dependencies between the ELS nodes (lowest level) and not between the grouping nodes in the Gantt, sorting of grouping nodes must be defined on the relevant sub tabs in the Sorting per Grouping Criteria page (refer the Define Sorting per Grouping Criteria activity). This activity provides another way of sorting the ELS nodes (lowest level) and can be used instead of defining sorting per grouping criteria.
To perform this activity, click Generate Sequencing as Sorting from the header of the Define Execution Logic Structure Template page.
To perform this activity, dependencies between ELS nodes must have been defined (via the Define Predecessors and Successors dialog in the Gantt or the ELS Sequencing tab). Refer the Define Execution Logic Structure Template activity for more information.
As a result of this activity, the sequence of the ELS nodes defined on the template is set as the sorting of the ELS nodes in the template. The sorting number is displayed in the Execution Logic Sorting field in the Define Execution Logic Structure Template/ELS Nodes tab.
