Hi Guys,

I do not like the print preview generated by P6 for EVA diagram in tracking window. Although the EVA diagram looks great, there is not enough flexibility to print it off without other multiple tables.

Is there any other type of report or facility in P6 enable to print the EVA diagram seprately in a nicer format?!

Rgds.

We are still using P5 where I work & are yet to take the "plunge" into P6. As far as how we use Primavera solutions here? Well for EV we use the "tracking" view. This is very useful as you can track EV at any level of the WBS, meaning if things are falling behind at the "project" level you can quickly find out where your project is lagging at the lower levels.

The print preview is reasonable however we still take screen prints so that we can overlay a CPI & SPI table.

I look forward to "playing" with P6 in the near future.

& finally, I agree with you that taking "screen prints" is an unfortunate work around...

Cheers
Mark

Mark,

Hi there and thanks for the guide. Well you suggestion is good but I doubt a powerful tool like P6 does not have a nice report to pront off EVA diagrams as this diagram is the very end result of all. I was hoping that there should be a report template which can produce a nice digram. I have been using simple snapshots so far but mmmm...

Any other suggestions. How other guys do this?

Mike my I have been in Railway industry in London for past 2 years. How do you use Primavera solutions in your work?

Cheers.

Hi Shahab

I’m not across P6 but if you don’t like what is presented in the "print preview", although you do like what is shown on screen, I would simply do a print screen & then crop to suit. That way you can overlay your own tables, other pictures etc & save in a suitable format.

Hope that helps...

Cheers
Mark
