Interactive Schedule Overview
ScheduleReader presents your project data interactively, not as a printout. Create personalized layouts, add or remove columns, and visualize relationships in an elaborate Gantt chart. Plot histograms, stacked histograms and S-curves to understand trends, workload distribution and project performance. Track the critical path, navigate between driving activities, and use Trace Logic to see predecessors and successors without altering the original P6 file.

Bridge the gap between the office and the field. Site team members propose activity status updates directly inside ScheduleReader; schedulers review those structured updates and fold them back into Primavera P6, saving hours of manual data entry and email threading while keeping strict control over the master schedule.

Calendar View for Field Teams
While schedulers live in Gantt charts, field engineers and foremen often prefer a calendar. The Calendar View presents project data by day, week or month - ideal for daily planning and on-site coordination, so everyone knows what is scheduled for the coming shift.

Risks View
View the risks and opportunities assigned to the project - risk name, impact, probability and response strategies - straight from the XER file. Built-in dashboards and charts support quantitative and qualitative analysis, including heat matrix, pre-post comparison, holistic view and pie charts.

Linear Scheduling View
For infrastructure, rail or pipeline projects, ScheduleReader PRO displays project data as time-location charts. Activities sit on a time/distance axis in a single one-page view, with geometric shapes showing the occupation of the work site over time - so conflicting access is visible at a glance.
