Hi



A quick way of building a project plan from a list is using import and export function



Normally I copy the list of WBS from the orignal specification, BOQ, Deliverable list, milestone list ...

Fill that in a excel spreadsheet with preliminary dates and resource budget hrs Q $, then import it into my P3e schedule. Once its in then I start to detail each WBS and link them together to create a CPM.

Other than what is listed on Primavera help I have found only 2 other shortcuts/tips.



1. When you have selected a bar that has a + or - symbol, pressing CTRL + TAB will expand or collapse that line. This works on Resources, codes, activity summary lines and other hierarchical structures.



2. While in the Activities screen use CTRL + Roll Mousewheel to scroll one screen at a time.

In P3 help, check the shortcut keys.



You will find a load of shortcut keys
