Anoon,
Progress line is no longer available in P5/P6. This was replaced by new screen layout or view that all activities with actual progress will be line up to data date and showing a like split bar when the predecessor of the task is not yet complete depending on the type of relationship used. On this layout you can easily analyse and trace the logic and relationship. Unlike P3x your actual progress bar is crossing over the data date if the predecessor of the task is not yet completed.
Hope this help,
Rodel
Rodel,
Is it possible to show Progress Line in P5/P6 (like in P3)?
I havent seen it in P6, I only got progress spotlight.
Anoon,
Yes it should be. Please note that it will work only if you have budget units and cost on your resources for more accurate data otherwise you will find that the summary will be not accurate figures.
HTH,
Rodel
Rodel,
Is performance % complete the same as Physical progress? (% type)? Please note, activities physical progress were done manually.
Neil,
Duration type % progress is rolling up automatically in Projects view as well as Activities view. You can input values (% progress) to Level of Effort activities manually.
Worked out how to have it show on the gantt chart as a bar
right click gantt - hit bars
Add a new bar - call it what you need then drop down "timescales" and choose "performance % complete"
Voila !!
Thanks for all your help guys
Neil
Neil,
Performance % complete is the same as Activity % complete. If you show both of them in the column you will find it the same. Activity % complete dont have summary but performance % complete have.
HTH,

Rodel
Many thanks ! that solves a problem, however, is there any way that you know of to do this and have a bar that can appear on the gant that shows the rolled up % complete ?
Let me know
Neil
Neil,
You can used Performance % Complete as bar label in summary bar. This will summarise your actual progress as long as you have the budget units and budget cost for more accurate figures.
Hope this help,
Rodel

Not sure why the activity type would effect the ability to summarise the % complete up to the summary bar.
Perhaps you can expand on this
Cheers
Neil
you got the LOE (Level of Effort) option,..also, im not sure, let me check and come back to you later...
Anoon
Thanks for the reply - but I am looking for specifics.
I cannot seem to get it to show Activity % complete at a summary level.
I can see how to show the % complete bar, by going into bars and checking the "show bar when colapsed" in bar settings - however becuase i cannot get any rolled up % complete there is nothing to draw the bar !
I guess my question is now "How do i show the "Activity % complete" at a summary level"
Neil
i think so, just be careful with the settings, specially when youre using steps (weightings) and manually inputting Physical progress...
Just an addition.
Specifically with regard to summary bars. I can get it to show the summary bar that displays the duration, however what I want is for it to also show the overall % complete bar next to it.
Is this possible ?
Neil
