Dear All,

Can anyone kindly guide me how to add Project - Sub Project environment in P6.

To be specific, I am preparing a Baseline Program for a 5 towers project. As the number of activities for each tower is more than 20000, I am planning to have a Sub Program for each tower, then combine to a main Program.

Please guide me step by step procedure to have Project - Sub Projects in P6.

Thanks in advance.

Nitin

There is a way to link activities even if they belong to different projects.

On `Assign Predecessors/Successors` windows you should click on "Display: All Activites" and choose ’Select Project’ command. The EPS system will show up, and then you may choose the project containing the activities that you will create a link to.

Regards,
Ahmet

Hi Nithin,

You can create sub-project by using WBS or by EPS.
