Current Baseline - Between set periods

C
Craig Adams 👤 Member for 19 years 7 months

Hello Fellow Asta Travellers,

Would like to create two columns that show specifiic baseline periods from the same baseline - for instance baseline finish dates for year ending 2011 then another column showing 2011 to year ending 2012 out of the same baseline.

Yes could create two baselines however trying to use only one for original baseline (budgeted works) and one for "what if scenarios".

Can anyone help with formula for this?

Look forward to your reply/ies.

Kind regards,

Craig adams

Controlling and Monitoring Process Plant Contracts Using Asta Power Project

Asta Power Project seems to be a powerful and flexible planning/project management package for controlling construction projects. Has anybody used it to manage process plant projects (Oil, Gas, LNG, Petro Chemicals, Power and Water etc) covering EPC/ design and build activities? What was your experience? How did it compare to products such as P6? What was the client reaction?

VBA

Hello planners,

 

I am using VBA in PowerProject (v 10.0.04) to import tasks and allocations from a csv-file. I am using SetUserStart and SetUserEnd (from the PermanentDemandAllocation class) to set the start- and enddate of the allocation, but I would also like to set the allocation percentage. But I can't find that specific member.

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the allocation percentage using VBA?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Marinus

Project Structuring - WBS, Summary Bars, Expanded Tasks

Asta Power Project Users,

As the topic title, I was interested in what method of project structuring you use. I have always used summary bars to breakdown the project.

Summary bars have always served me well for this purpose, using activity codes as well allow filtering etc. but I was reading through the APP help files on a quiet afternoon and studying the WBS in Power Project.

I am struggling to see the benefit of the WBS as opposed to summary tasks / activity codes and was interested in you opinions.

how to add more items in code libraries

HI,

 

I'm using Asta easyplan. I'm creating a tender programme. I'm trying to put all of the different stages into different colours so I used the code libraries option and dragged the headings to the tasks and then renamed the headings.. I assumed I could just add more items into the code library by right clicking however I can't see how to add more so I'm stuck with the 6no in designers that I started with.

Can anyone tell me how to group my tender programme in colours effectively without running out.

 

Cheers

Editing User Rights in Asta PowerProject Enterprise

B
Ben Bull 👤 Member for 14 years 11 months

Hi All,

I am looking for some help, i have been using Asta for around 18 Months and have recently been given the task of improving the way we use Power Project, it is on Enterprise.

I have reduced the amount of user views we had in the sytem (Approx. 140) we only needed 10 of these.

I now want to remove the rights for users to add and edit the existing views, i have tried all options i can think of in the Admin section of the Code Library.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Many Thanks

BB
