Turn P6 Schedule Data into Reports and Dashboards
ScheduleReader PRO summarizes project information in clear, graphical reports and dashboards, so managers, schedulers and stakeholders can read the status at a glance.
The idea
Reports That Summarize the Project, Not Just List It
Dynamic reports and dashboards take the schedule data already in the project and present it as clear, easy-to-understand visual graphics, helping managers and schedulers make more informed decisions.
Graphical by Default
Key project information is summarized in visual graphics rather than long tables of numbers.
One Click
Reports are created with one click of a button, so the status is ready when a stakeholder asks for it.
Shareable
Reports and their parameters can be exported and shared with the team or with outside stakeholders.
Two types
Run a Ready Template, or Build Your Own
Predefined Reports & Dashboards
Ready-made graphical templates that give an overall picture of the status of the project plan, grouped into DCMA 14 based reports and the Activity, WBS and Project categories.
Custom Graphical Reports
When the predefined reports do not cover a question, create your own report: name it, choose a layout, and customize the tables and charts.
Both report types are part of ScheduleReader PRO.
Predefined reports
Templates Grouped by What You Need to See
The predefined graphical report templates give overall information about the status of the project plan and help users quickly create a report with particular project parameters.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reporting Included in the Standard Edition?
No. Dynamic reports and dashboards are a ScheduleReader PRO feature, alongside the DCMA 14-point assessment, Compare Projects, the risk view and linear scheduling.
What Is the Difference Between Predefined and Custom Reports?
Predefined reports are ready templates that cover the common project questions, grouped into DCMA 14 based reports and the Activity, WBS and Project categories. Custom reports let you choose a layout and customize the tables and charts when a template does not fit.
Can I Share a Report I Built?
Yes. If a report fits a project, you can export the report parameters into a file and share it with other team members.
Can I Change the DCMA 14 Criteria?
Yes. You can modify the metric settings and insert your own, project-specific criteria, and export the report data to Excel.
Do the Reports Need a Primavera P6 License?
No. The reports are built from the .xer or P6 XML export, read in ScheduleReader, so no P6 license is required to create or read them.
