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.

This is unbelievable! Together with the program the ref’manuals should be installed on each pc! And IT should have them for user support.
I sent the pdf.

I assume you or IT installed P6 from the original set of CD’s, On CD no.3 you can find that specific file:
Doku\Moving From P3 to P6\MovingfromP3toP6.pdf.
It is an excellent information for P3 experts.

Equal is what belongs to exactly that node, under everything below, e.g if you have a code "location" with continent on level 1, country on level 2, region on level 3 and yu ask for Europe, it will show only those where Europe is assigned - not e.g. Germany, UK... - whereas under will show all with Europe and Germany, UK, and...
Maybe I understood your item with bars:
Within the Gantt chart: right mouse button --> Bar chart options --> collapsed bars --> unmark "Show relationships...".
A clean summary bar: Within the Gantt chart: right mouse button --> Bars --> bar settings --> unmark "Show when collapsed"
"SOMETIMES SOME BAR NOT LINK TO THE OTHER WHEN WE DON’T HAVE WORK IN THE ACTIVTY"??? Not due to capitals. Can the reason be a week-end?

Sorry your question concerning the bars I didn’t understand. Maybe you mean something under:
Within the Gantt chart: right mouse button --> Bar chart options --> collapsed bars or general. If not, please explain.
"Is Under" means: in your hierarchical structure everything nelow a certain node.

Dieter

Hi Jackie,

Regarding the resources,32000m3,we can write it like that:
32,000 m3with commas....
For the bar,i know from the format bars,but i mean in the Gant Chart,also if we have non working days ,it shows seperation of bars.

Thanks again.

Hi Roger

By accessing View / Bars from your menu or clicking on your Bars icon you can set up the way you want your bars to display.

Also Dieter,

When we summarise all the activities in one bare,it appears black line in the bar,i think the symbol of many activities starting at this date,could we delete it??

Thanks again

Thanks Dieter,

What the meaning of "is under" in the filtration.

So if we have one thirty two thousand m3,there is no format inside p6 to write :32,000..and not 32000.

Thanks a lot.

The concept for codes is different to P3 - they are hierarchical. WR no longer exists for the codes - it does in other areas. A nice feature in P6 is "Is under".
For the differences between P3 and P6 there is an excellent PDF on the documentation CD.

Dieter
