Searches your Smart Review model for elements that match criteria specified in your project planning file. Smart Review then updates the Main view and displays the elements according to selected options. For example, you can search for elements that fall within the Critical Path category and display them as red, shaded graphics.

Style
Defines the style for highlighting objects that your query finds. You can select Wireframe, Transparent (90% - 10%), Shaded, or Normal.
-
The Transparent option specifies how much you can see through an object. You can vary the percentage of transparency from 10% (least transparent) to 90%.
-
Use the Normal style if you want to prevent the symbology from changing from its normal (as-is) state.
Color
Displays the Colors dialog box, allowing you to change the highlight color for the query objects. You can also change this after the query results are returned. If the Normal style is in effect, then no change is visible until you switch styles.

To use this functionality, you must install the Construction module.

The project planning file that you want to use with this query must already exist.

The search criteria reside in your project planning file. For example, if you have tasks in your project file such as Actual Cost, % Complete, and Remaining Work, these items are available as search criteria.
