Project Tracker cannot generate results for queries that are overly complex.
A point system is used to figure out the complexity of a query. If you exceed a certain number of points, you cannot generate the query. Points are added for using the following when specifying a query:
- 1 point for each attribute. Text attributes do not use any points.
- 1 point for one or more user associations. It does not matter how many personnel associations are specified; the point is added for only the first one.
- 1 point for "created" items, either the Creation Date Range, or one or more user associations of Created By. One point, maximum, is added if both Creation Date Range and one or more Created By user associations are used.
- 1 point for the Attribute Change query criteria, with an additional 1 point if dates are specified.
The points are added, and if the number of points is greater than a certain number, an alert is displayed and the query is not generated.
