Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

This is an oldish thread, I was wondering if there have been any developments on this issue? Service Pack perhaps (he says hopefully)?

I’ve just been "upgraded" from 2003 to 2007 but after two days of trying to make it work I’m now thinking about going back. Previously my hierarchical outline coding worked beautifully, now code Values are displayed instead of Descriptions, and the groupings don’t work at all.

I’ve replicated my hierarchical structure with individual codes which has sorted out the grouping issue, but it makes little difference because the descriptions still can’t be seen!

Next step is to make the "Value" the "Description".

Long time Primavera user now suffering with Project. Ah, the good old days....

Sorry Pinan

But since I haven’t got 2007 I can’t check.

Hopefully someone else out there can help who has 2007

Good luck

Colin

thanx but what i mean is to hide that part.. it keeps on showing like that, say i rename the O code 1 as PHASE, then values include ENGINEERING,RCC WORKS, etc. then after grouping, it will show PHASE:ENGINEERING, PHASE:RCC WORKS.. what i want is to hide "PHASE:".. and i notice also that it will be in alphabetical order sequence, how can i patterned it as defined, say ENGINEERING, then RCC WORKS, then MEP Works, etc.

Sorry Pinan

I mis-understood and I typed without checking.

I should of also clarified that I am using MSP 2003.

Testing the situation, when I use the outline code - this does not give the name at the start (it only does that if I use Text1)

Try below -

Tools / customise / fields
Select ouline code 1
Click edit lookup table
Then if I type 1 etc in the outline code and to the right the desciption :-
1 Engineering
2 RCC Works
3 MEP works

Does this give what you want

An alternative is to name the value "1) Engineering" etc
