Why won't P3 calculate my activity duration?

Hello.

I'm a novice working with P3.  I have an existing project with many activities with assigned durations and logic.  I want to add a resource, specifically cubic yards of material, and assign it to the activities with a budgeted quantity of cubic yards to complete.  I want to enter a defined units/time period to calculate the activity duration.

Mouse driver that scrolls in P3 using Windows 7

Years ago I found a mouse driver that allowed me to scroll in P3 using XP. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and that mouse driver does not allow me to scroll anymore. Is there a mouse driver I can download that will again allow me to scroll in P3 using Windows 7?

problems on update data date

J
ji wei 👤 Member for 16 years

Hi:

When I update the data date in my P3 schedule, My steps as follows:

1. update all activities weekly

2. update data date weekly

3. schedule

Problems:

The early finish dates (already actual started activities) also prolong one week after I updated the data date. And the early finish dates is later than data date. I think these acutal status activities should not move when I update the data date.  So that I need come back, and carefully check the started activities.

Moving WBS in P3

M
Mike Lyons 👤 Member for 19 years 3 months

Hi All,

I have just taken over somebody elses plan for a framework agreement with lots of seperate jobs contained within. I am looking for the quickest way to move areas of the WBS into other areas. For example;

I am trying to move Job No 1 (Inc all descendants) from "On Hold" in WBS to "Ongoing" in WBS

 

What is the quickest way to do this? I normally use activity codes but there are 8,000 activities to update.

 

Kind Regards

 

Mike
