"Update Existing" resources etc - what exactly is being updated? How come all my projects bleed together for resources?

 Existing" resources etc - what exactly is being updated?  How come all my projects bleed together for resources?  - If I say "use existing" for calendar or resources - and it changed in update - won't my project not match the original import?

General format note in P6

J
John Reeves 👤 Member for 13 years 1 month
  1.  Isn't better to use “Start” and “Finish” column headings instead of “Early Start” and “Early Finish” when also using “Late Start” and “Later Finish” columns along with float.  The reason is because the Start will give you an actual right? with an A next to the date, where the "Early start" will not have an A for actual and be confusing correct.   The only point would be if you wanted to know when they were supposed to start right - which nobody really needs to know or can go look at an earlier copy.  Or am I not thinking of something?

Activity ID

J
John Lau 👤 Member for 4 years 5 months

Hi, 

I was wondering if there is a way to show the non-editable Activity ID as column on P6? (Similar to MS Project where the Unique ID is not editable)

This allows me to undertake analytics, track changes of the user defined fields.

Alternatively is there a way to lock the activity ID so it is not editable?

Regards,

John

Resource question = Unit 1/d, budgeted 8 units AC=8, working all 5 days, my p6 histogram chart says 4 for the week? how?  - shouldn't it 40?  Shouldn't the at completion units be 8 units x 9 days = 72?

Max units per time not matching "Limit" line in recourse usage profile bar chart

H
Huss PS 👤 Member for 3 years 10 months

Hi All,

 

I am using P6 V21.

"Limit" line in "Reosrce usage profile" window it is showing above 50h/d (Max units/time set when adding resource).

Has anyone experience similar issue? What could be the reason? and how to fix it?

 

PS: I tried to upload snapshot but unable to see images or load images on this website. probably becasue it's not https. If i can get help on this as well, that would be great.

Thanks

SS & FF Relationship

H
Huss PS 👤 Member for 3 years 10 months

Hi All,

I have a scenario where i have to use SS & FF relationship together. Problem is it's not working.

Objective:

A1170 strats when A1130 Starts

A1170 finished when A1160 finished

 

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:8267:]]

 

I tried adding LOE activitiy (A2690) and put a relationship with A1170 but this didn't work. I think i have to put both SS & FF relationship with LOE activity but this didn't work.

because constraints not allowed, contractor put in new calendars that do the same thing...

J

because constraints not allowed, contractor put in new calendars that do the same thing...Contractor has kicked work out to spring due to weather, some thought that making them remove the start constraint would force them to pull up the dates, instead they just put it on a new craft calendar that held the same date.  I assume due to means and methods - there is not much that can be done.  We could have the produce a resource planning report, but when they do not hit then number of crews or workers - it will be too late to bring it back in.
