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.

Automatic opening of rolled-up WBS-level when using "GoTo" for relationships

When analysisng predecessors and successors I often roll up my programme so only a few WBS-levels are shown. I then open that WBS-level where the activity I want to analyse is located in.

When pushing either the "GoTo" for the predecessor or successor panels in the "Relationships"-tab at the bottom, I would like the WBS-level to open automatically and show the pred./succ.-activity, however that doesn't happen.

I can of course push "Expand All" under the View-tab and it will then automatically jump to the pred./succ.-activity, but then the whole programme will be shown again and I can start all over rolling up WBS-levels until I get what I want to see again. A lot of time wasted.

Is there any settings or short cuts to only open the WBS-level where the relevant pred./succ.-activity is located in.

 

Best regards,

Bo

Why not roll up the WBS, open the WBS node where your activity lies, and save it as a layout? By opening that layout in the future you should always see the WBS rollup that you wish. 

 

Also, you could make a filter that displays only that activity, and save it as a layout.

 

I think I understand your request. I hope this helps.

I am fairly sure you will not get this from P6.
