Claim Digger has its shortcomings. Change Inspector is a schedule comparison tool that addresses these short-comings.<\/p>\n
Claim digger produces a lengthy HTML report that could be hundreds of pages long.\u00a0 Navigating the Claim Digger reports can be cumbersome and time consuming. The scheduler has to scroll up and down through hundreds of pages. On the other hand, Change Inspector creates reports in\u00a0Excel format organized by worksheets.\u00a0\u00a0Not only that it is easier to review and navigate, it is also easier to create and format custom reports.<\/p>\n
Claim Digger reports are difficult to use without clean up and reformatting. The schedule review and documentation of the changes require a streamlined approach. Change Inspector creates streamlined reports. For example, duration changes and description changes should be summarized in one report because both a description and original duration change may indicate an activity scope change.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the scheduler cannot see the float values on the same report. As a result, in the Claim Digger report, it is not possible to tell whether the duration\u00a0changes result in negative float.<\/p>\n Claim Digger<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is important to see the added activities with their duration and float values on one report so that the scheduler can easily\u00a0check if the activities were added to the critical path.<\/p>\n Change Inspector<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Claim Digger only shows the added activities.\u00a0 It is not possible to see the effects of the added activities in one streamlined report.<\/p>\n Claim Digger<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Change Inspector produces additional reports\u00a0such project dashboard.<\/p>\n Change Inspector<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Change Inspector works with XER files or can directly connect to the Primavera \u00a0database.
