P6-Scrubber used to edit and remove unwanted data prior to import
Client Overview
This State Department of Transportation is a governmental agency that constructs, maintains, and regulates the use of transportation infrastructure. It is responsible for more than 20,000 lane-miles of roadway, nearly 3,000 vehicular bridges and 524 other structures. This infrastructure includes rail lines, state highways, state ferries (considered part of the highway system) and state airports.
Challenges
-
Users were in need of a faster, easier way to remove or remap data from contractor XERs and XMLs prior to importing to P6.
-
Users required a fast way to prefix or remove roles in their XERs and XMLs.
-
Microsoft Project XMLs are provided by contractors. They wanted to also have the ability to edit these files prior to importing them into their P6 database.
Results
-
Deployed P6-Scrubber to facilitate the editing of XER and XML files.
-
Quick role prefixing or removing roles was needed, so Emerald added that option to the Simple Scrub module in P6-Scrubber.
-
MSP XML file scrubbing was added to the P6-Scrubber tool to facilitate the editing of these files.
