Overview

Problem

Importing project XERs and XMLs can wreak havoc with your P6 database and your corporate standards for dashboards and reporting. But with projects teams all around the world with their own P6 coding structures, it is hard to avoid polluting your P6 system. How do you make sure you're not importing junk or old information?

Solution

P6-Scrubber will make this problem go away. This new tool built by Emerald gives you control to manage data from imports. Hold, Keep, and Clean data options at project, WBS, activity and many global features can be controlled by the importer. We take advantage of our existing P6-QA and P6-Calculator tools to flag and report on what P6-Scrubber did in importing so the team can give contractors feedback against standards with only minutes of effort and not hours.

Roi

P6-Scrubber can significantly reduce the time you spend on giving feedback to your contractors without manual quality assurance. It is easy and fast to set up and save new Scrubber Definitions to use over and over with each different client. P6-Scrubber produces a report and also automatically flags what it did so when you import, it is easy to see right in P6 what was done during the scrub. The tool will help keep your database clean, and you will avoid importing data with missing or incorrect details.

P6-Scrubber Review

P6-Scrubber Review

"The tool has great versatility on changing the schedule to customize to the owner’s format requirements. I was very interested in the capability of rolling down the Global Calendars.
