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.

Hi all,


I am very sorry if I am asking a question that ahs been discussed already, but it seems the search tool of the forum has been turned off temporarily.

I am looking for a way to enter/modify/import/merge (any) the activity codes dictionary.

Anybody has any hints on ways to pursue.

Thanks

Solution ID: 200252492644 on the Primavera Knowledge Base has a spread sheet that may be used without the loading of RA and is quite simple to use.

hello,

you can also use the activity.xls and project.xls files to retrieve and update the dictionaries.

the excel files are in the cd’s.

I understand that you still have to copy the RA files to your c though. the macros are nothing further than a frontend to the RA.

working with excel is flexible and RA filters the data while importing to P3 so that nothing very obvious messes with P3 database.

Hope this helps.

Just a small addition to what was said.

RA is the right tool to use.
When you install P3 RA is not automaticaly installed.
You have to locate it in the CD and simply copy it to the P3WIN directory in your computer/server.

Take a look in RA - it contains a lot of helpfull samples not just for the subject mentioned.

Use the RA facility to export/import, modify, add datas in activity codes dictionary. You can find this in P3 CD.
