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.

Progress bars not show Pls help!!!

I have just installed P3 and have linked up all activities based on FS relationship logic.

However, all activities’ start dates are the same, i.e. the project start date.

Why?

Please kindly help....

Dear Everybody,

I could finally adjust the bars with all of your help during the past few days!

i am trying how to resolve the automatically updating bar movement since the bars don’t move after change of the duration.

Thank you so much!

Dear Friends,

I could link up the activities normally now except:-

1. is it necessary to update the "tool" -> "Schedule" for each activities since P3 would ask me to save the "Primavera Look" every time which is very troublesome?

2. How to fix the :start milestone" to a specific date since after i update the "schedule", it goes back to the data date everytime. How to determine an activities to a date without change?

My emai is colossu@netvigator.com

I could email you the P3 to you to read easily.

Thanks!!!

Schedule command (Tools menu)

You should calculate a schedule each time you add or delete activities or revise their dates, durations, or relationships.

Is P3 gives you a ’Loop detected warning’ when scheduling?

Dear Alexandre and friends,

I have linked all them up but any other box i need to input data to make it move forward?

Today, I found if i input the duration period accumulate from the data date, the bar could move outward, but I feel it is not sensible to do so since I can’t calculate all activities!!!

Many thanks!

Dear All Brothers,

Thanks for your advices.

However, all activities stay on the data date as their start date but not extent forward....

Any other setting I need to check??

I haven’t seen such case in suretrak...

indeed, welcome!

the confusion for you may arise from the fact that P3 does not automatically schedule by default. You can change this, so it will act more like Suretrac or MSP but you will find that not having your activities running all over the place everytime you make a link or change a duration can be very soothing... ;)

It’s also essential for larger plans, where the schedule update can take minutes, thus rendering plan editing impractical with auto-schedule on
