In addition, the duration display format can be changed from days (the default) to any other time unit larger than the schedule’s time unit (for more info, see [bookmark postid=”12362″ anchor=”units”]PolyTime/Variable Time Units[/bookmark]).
NOTE: Only Days will calculate based on the calendar of the object. Any other time unit will calculate based on total calendar days.

Field | Definition |
Crosses an activity | If a link crosses an activity. Default is equal to 25 points. |
Crosses another link | If a link crosses another link. Default is equal to 5 points. |
Contains a H leg > 50% of gap | If the horizontal segment of a link has a gap greater than 50% of its duration. Default is equal to 5 points. |
Contains a D leg > 50% of gap | If the diagonal segment of a link has a gap greater than 50% of its duration. Default is equal to 5 points. |
V or D leg crosses a grid, excluding intermediate grids | If the vertical or diagonal segment of a link crosses a gridline, excluding “intermediate” grids (empty grids with no objects that are added to increase spacing). Default is equal to 2 points. |
Opposing H, V, or D legs overlap | If any segment of a link overlaps with any segment of another link that’s going in the opposite direction. Default is equal to 10 points. |
Coinciding H, V, or D legs overlap | If any segment of a link overlaps with any segment of another link that’s going in the same direction. Default is equal to 2 points. |
Term | Definition |
Link Score | The link score for a given geometry is equal to the sum of all its penalties. For example, if a link crosses one activity and two other links, its default score would be equal to 35 (25 penalty points for crossing the activity and 5 penalty points for crossing each link). |
Sum Link Score | The sum link score is equal to the sum of the link scores for all links in the network. |
Net Sum Link Score | The net sum link score is equal to the sum of the link scores for all links in the network excluding links between swim lanes if present |
Mean Link Score | The mean link score is equal to the sum of the link scores for all links divided by the number of links in the network. |
Activity Score | The activity score is equal to the sum of the link scores for every valid (not redundant) link connected to that activity divided by the number of links connected to that activity |
Mean Activity Score | The mean activity score is equal to the sum of the activity scores for all activities in the network divided by the number of activities in the network. |
Layout Score | The layout score is a measure of layout optimization. The lower the score, the tidier the layout relative to link/activity crossings, link overlays, and link length in terms of number of grid crossings. The layout score is equal to the sum link score plus additional point penalties for any of the following:
