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.

Primavera Contractor

I am using Primavaera Contractor and have a query.

 

When I add a baseline to the programme the Links change from previously showing links between actual activities (before baseline added) to showing only links between baseline items.

 

Is there a simple solution to this, as i want to show links between actual activities and with the baseline of the previous programme?

 

Thanks

 

Tony

The only workaround I can think of is to setup an activity code, and copy the AID of just the section you want sorted differently over to it.

Then you should be able set up a two-level Sort from "View" > "Group and Sort" > "Sort" 

First sort by the activity code, then by date

 

Cheers,

That has worked thanks, heres another one for you.....

 

when you click on the cells at the top of the gantt chart you change the ordering of that cell, eg. order it by ID number or by date - but this is only for the entire programme.

 

Is there a way to only order certain sections, eg I want to order the entire programme via date except for one section I want to order via the ID?

 

Any ideas?

Tony,

 

I haven't used Contractor, but this sounds very similar to how P6 works so I shall assume it's the same approach.

In P6, you can only show relationships between either baseline or current bars -not both.

To change from showing baseline relationships to current relationships, got to "View" > "bars", and shift the baseline bar down to the bottom of the list of visible bars.

 

Cheers,
