Microsoft Project 2013 - Hierarchy Heading

Hi, I am a new member here, so please excuse if my first attempt at posting a question doesn't look right. Basicaly my question relates to Microsoft Project 2013. I have recently done a construction work programme, but my frustration is that when I filter tasks to show me tasks on only certain dates, it shows those tasks, but I need the group heading, i.e. the group name or heading, that this task falsl under to also show. Hopefully I've made my query clear becuase this is somethign that I have been battling forever with.

Calendars ^ _ ^

Hi !!

I want to make a calendar in MSP 2013 for which I copied the 24 hrs shift.

Now using exceptions I entered the 4 national holidays which went fine.

I marked all the sundays as Off. Now we have a shift change / off day every 15 days or on  the alternate sundays.

Can I do that using some command or I have to select every alternate sunday manually for the project duration ??

Assigning and tracking two resources with diffrent type in a task

It may be very newbie question. I am using MS Project. I want to know how to track a task with two different resources. How can we calculate man hour or progresses of this task when there are two resources. For example, my task is from civil engineering project and lets say its name is "3rd floor reinforced concrete works". Dont i have to assign "concrete", "steel" and "workers" resources to this task. When i do this, how can i track this activity. Because concrete and steel are "material" type but workers are "work type resources. What do you suggest me in order to track this activity?

How to install a Header in Project 2013

Good day everyone! I'm just a newbie in planning, but i'm eager to get much better at it. I have just one, hopefully easy lesson i'm trying to learn. After making a rudimentary plan on Project 2013, i wish to create a header to insert the project name with client and contractor names. How would i do that?? I've attached a sample that i saw, that i liked. Thank you.

Question about more different projects on one sheet

T
T Heo 👤 Member for 9 years 10 months

Since a short time I trying to use Ms Project. I can work already a bit with Primavera P6.

Ms Project looks more userfriendly and looks easier to use and build up a single project.

Now my question:

In Primavera I can make different projects and after that I can select different projects and put them in one view. Thats very easy.

How does it work in MS Project?
I have made 2 projects now and I assignments Resources to it and I Gilles. The General calender..
