1Z0-567 Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: CE

Explanation:

Note: Creating Projects on the Portfolio Analysis Page Generally, you create projects while working on the EPS page in the Projects section of the application.

However, it is also possible to create what-if projects while analyzing portfolios. During the process of evaluating a portfolio, you will often want to capture a new

project idea. To create a project on the portfolio analysis page:

1) Click Portfolios.

2) On the Portfolios navigation bar, click Portfolio Analysis.

3) On the Portfolio Analysis page:

a.

Make sure you are working with the primary portfolio (at top or left) and not the comparison set for the next steps.

b.

In the Scenario list, select a scenario for your analysis. c. In the View list, select a portfolio view scorecard. d. In the scorecard, select a row where you want to

add a new project.

e.

Click Add Project.

4) For the first project you create, if defaults are not already set, the Add Project dialog box appears:

a.

Select a default Parent EPS element.

b.

Select a default Responsible Manager.

c.

Click Select.

5) On the Portfolio Analysis page, click Save. Tip You can change the what-if project's Project Status field value on the General detail window of the EPS page.

For example, you may later want to change a project from What If to Planned status. Note 2: A portfolio is a collection of projects. Group projects into portfolios so

you can easily view data from more than one project at a time. Reference; P6 EPPM User's Guide, Creating Projects on the Portfolio Analysis

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Note: Project Codes allow for grouping, sorting, and filtering projects. They are used extensively and allow you to organize your project in many ways, particularly for reporting and when performing portfolio analysis (See Chapter 11, Portfolios). Think of codes as categories or labels; they can be used individually or in combination to group or give totals for different categories in reports or portfolios.

Correct Answer: AC

Explanation:

This portlet has a number of customizations. The first choice to be made is to show open assignments on all projects or just those within the filter for this

dashboard. The Organize field allows a user to define how the listed open assignments are sorted and shown. The drop-down list offers views where open

assignments are shown as:

*

Roles with open assignments project by project (A)

*

Projects with open assignments role by role (C)

*

Roles with open assignments, sorted by project, and sub-sorted by project codes

See figure below:

Note: The Open Requests for Resources portlet allows users to show which activities on projects have only a role (that is, engineer) assigned and need a resource (that is, David Jackson) assigned by their Manager.

Note 2: A variety of pre-defined portlets come with P6.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Storing of Period Performance

When billing in Excel (AIA form) or in the P6 schedule the current billing period amounts must be "rolled" or moved to the Previously Billed or Actual Cost

categories before starting a new billing period.

When the billing has been approved and finalized in the AIA form it can be copied to a new file for use in the next billing period. To "roll" or clear out the This

Period amounts in Excel, the current period amounts will have to be added into the Previous Application column cells. This creates a starting point for the new

billing period.

Note:

In P6, by default, actuals will be distributed evenly across time periods. For example, we set up an activity to start the first day of May, and we have actuals for the

month of May of 15 hours. We have actuals for the month of June of 25 hours. P6 will display this as 20 hours for May and 20 hours for June. To get the exact

amount of hours for each month, you have to store period performance. To do this, take the following steps:

1.) Set up your financial periods:

Select Admin, Financial Periods from the Menu Bar

You can either add your financial periods manually, or set up a batch run by entering the start date and end date and how often the period should be created.

2.) Enter your actuals for the resource into the column, Actuals This Period. It will also put the same amount in the Actual Units Column; at the end of May, Actuals

This Period would have 15 hours, as would Actual Units.

3.) When you are done with the update, do Tools, Store Period Performance. This will move the Actuals this Period to the appropriate financial period and zero out

the Actuals This Period column. At the end of June, enter 25 hours in Actual This Period. Actuals This Period will have 25 hours and Actual Units will have 40

hours.

4.) To view the financial periods, do the following:

Click Edit, User Preferences

Click on the Application Tab

Enter the Financial Periods that you would like to view. In the Activity Window, add the financial period columns (they will start with the financial period).

Correct Answer: ACE

Explanation:

A: Note: To facilitate a streamlined, role-specific configuration of P6 Web Access, your administrator can assign you to a user interface view that corresponds to your role and work processes in your organization. The tabs, tab icons, and action menu items that you can access in each section of P6 Web Access, and the order in which they appear, depend on your user interface view settings

C: The Edit menu is a standard Windows menu that lets you do common actions such as cut, copy, and paste.

E: The View menu is quite extensive, and the items available vary as you view different modules.

Note:

When you log into P6 the first time, you should be presented with a screen similar to the following screenshot:

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The BI Publisher report is generated by the BI Publisher engine and rendered into a desired format. The same report can be rendered as PDF, MS Word, MS

Excel, HTML, or even in an interactive web view. This rendered output can then be sent on demand or on a schedule to many destinations including e-mail,

content repository, a file system, and more.

Note: Having a content repository integrated with P6 can turn cluttered, unstructured content into organized assets by making it easier to catalog, access, search,

and reuse documentation.

Note 2: BI Publisher

BI Publisher is a key part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack. The technology for BI Publisher was originally developed for Oracle E-Business suite, but it is

now used in a wide range of systems, including Primavera Contract Manager, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft. From a user's point-of view, it is very convenient to

learn one well designed reporting tool that is also used in many other systems. BI Publisher has many users, and many resources available to help with reporting

needs. BI Publisher is designed such that the data being reported on is completely separated from the layout of the report, and the layout of the report is

completely separated from the report output format.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

EPS activity codes can be used only in projects that belong to a specified EPS, including its subordinate EPS nodes, if any.

Note:

*

An activity code can be designated as one of three types: Global, EPS, or project.

*

Activity Codes can be defined through the Administer | Enterprise Data dialog, where they can be set at the Global, EPS, and Project level. Activity codes help to sort, filter, and group activities.

*

Some data can be stored either at the enterprise level, or at the project level. One such example is activity codes. Some activity codes may be enterprise, perhaps CSI codes to identify the type of work. Others, such as the specific floor in a multi-story construction, are particular to one project and meaningless in others.

Explanation:

Note: The new schedule checker is a tool that assists planners, project managers and the PMO to ensure project plans are built within the guidelines of industry and organizational best practices. The schedule checker performs a 14-point analysis to ensure that activities and dependencies of the project schedule are following desired standards. The schedule checker adheres to the DCMA 14-point assessment check and produces a report that lists all opportunities for corrective action or improvement when aspects of the project schedule fall outside the quality guidelines. The report includes a summary and detailed sections displaying activities falling outside your configured thresholds.

Note 2: The Schedule Checker can be run against one or multiple projects. You can save the thresholds to run again for the project that is open. The first thing to do is set up the 14 Configurable User Thresholds. See figure below.

Example of output.

Shown below is the top half of the Schedule Check Summary Report.
