Good Morning,
I am after a bit of help in Asta PowerProject (if what I am trying to do is even achieveable).
I record progress against a new progress period every two weeks for each project I oversee, and there are inevitably comments against the progress position of each activity i.e. started late due to x reason, due to commence on x date, delays in design infomation etc. I currently record these comments in a 'Notes' column in the spreadsheet.
However everytime I record new progress, if no longer applicable, I have to delete all of these comments and record new ones. I am looking for a way to set up a Comments column which is specific to a progress period so that I may leave the comments in place. So for example: I create a new progress period to 14.02.2014, I record progress as usual and also comments against that progress in the 'Comments' column and save the file. Then on the next mark-up on the 28.02.2014 I select the next progress period and the Comments column will be blank, as the previous comments were recorded specifically to the previous progress period. I can then record new comments against the new progress period and continue in that manner.
I don't overwrite the file each time, I save a sepereate file for each progress mark-up just in case and this mainatains the comments previously recorded against each activity but obviously over a year or two long project these comments can then be spread out over multiple files. Being able to do it in the way described above would allow me to keep all of the comments together in one file and go back and look at them by changing the active progres period. This would make life a lot easier should I need to go back and understand why things were delayed or to review the comments chronologically.
Many thanks for your time.
