Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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.

Dear Rafael,

 

Thanks a lot for the valuable suggestion, will definitaley impliment this now and in future also. I just shifted to P6 after a break of 3 years ( I used p3 before that). Lots of changes, after trying for different fields i again moved into planning and scheduling as it gives me utmost pleasure. 

Will opt for PSP now.

 

With Regards,

Mangesh,

I always try to keep an up to date Template Job I use to store all my favorite Layouts, filters, formulas, reports etc then I can use it as a template on new jobs or as a reference to transfer my layouts, filters, formulas, reports ... easier than searching all over.

This was an easy filter but sometimes even the most basic filter can be complex, like a look-ahead filter for example, same goes for reports.

Best regards,

Rafael

To Quote Rafael:

"If not pre-defined you shall define it yourself"

 

Create a filter where successors = blank

Just apply a filter for Activities without Successors/Predecessors it would be too primitive to run the schedule to get a report, same as scrolling all activities, especially if a schedule of thousands of activities.

The following screen display how Spider provides for such filters you can apply to the whole project or a selection of WBS phases. Look for such equivalent filter in P6. If not pre-defined you shall define it yourself. After this it shall always be available at a single click of the mouse and error proof, no single activity missed.
