SURE CHANGE VERSION 1.1

How long does it take you to figure out all the changes made to an updated schedule? How about between twelve or so updates? How long does it take to review someone else's schedule to see if they have made the changes you have requested? SURE CHANGE can do it in minutes! Time is money and this program will pay for itself the first few times it is used.

SURE CHANGE is the only program of its kind that will compare native format SureTrak® schedules. It is based on the successful Claim Digger comparison program for Primavera schedules that has been on the market since 1991, but is a complete new rewrite from the ground up that includes many enhancements. SURE CHANGE is a windows program that works under Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, Windows NT and Windows XP. It is compatible with all Windows versions of SureTrak®.

      1. What files does it use/how does it work?

      Sure Change reads the native SureTrak® file structures directly. No more exporting of data files prior to beginning a comparison! The two projects are selected from the screen and the comparison is run directly from the original schedule files. The comparison takes only minutes, depending on the size and number of changes in the schedule.

      2. What comparisons does it make?

      The program will tell you the following changes to schedules: Activities that have been added or deleted. Percent complete changes. Changes to original and remaining durations. Changes to early starts early finishes, actual starts and actual finishes. Changes to activity calendars. Description changes. Added, deleted or changed relationships and changes to driving links.

      3. What kind of output or report is available?

      Sure Change prints through the windows print manager. The comparison report is printed in condensed print with bold headings. It is a much improved report over its predecessor, Claim Digger. You also have access to the report text file that you can view and modify using a text editor or word processor.

      4. How many activities or relationships will it handle?

      Sure Change does all its comparisons in memory. It can handle approximately 8000 activities with their relationships.
