Designate configuration states and lanes from scratch for this schedule.
Continue from a settings file
Load last period's Config State Map Settings.json; states, lanes, colours and layout nudges are matched to this XER by Activity ID.
2 · Designate configuration states
Pick the milestones that are your configuration states and order them CS1, CS2, CS3… — the programme executes them strictly in order. Short display names read better on the map than P6 names.
3 · Choose the swimlane code
Every other milestone carrying a value of this activity code (or UDF) becomes a candidate map milestone in that value's lane.

5 · The map
Drag a station to nudge it · double-click flips its label · scroll to zoom
6 · Validation
Sequence findings, open ends, late prerequisites, uncoded milestones and the hidden/excluded appendix — this panel doubles as the schedule-fix list to take back into P6.
