Dieter,



There will be P7.



Oh my.



Then there might be some oracle influence in P7 considering that oracle completed the acquisiiton of Primavera



Cheers,

happy planning and scheduling

Glen, Dieter just gave me an idea

you can use job services to batch a report of all completed activities.

it is not visual but it might help

Just curious what you’ll do with the cat after...



Filters, bars can be attached to a layout - you’ll just have to open it. Reports can be saved.

Global change you’ll have to run each time you’ll need it. You are not the only to see a missing function.

Major German EPC-contractors and some construction companies asked Primavera to make a batch run possible for Global Changes which then can atomatically be started by "Job Services". Ask Primavera as well and you’ll raise the chance to include this in P7.



Regards

Thanks for your replies.

I’m sure there are various ways it can be done, (multae viae Romam meunt) or as we say in Yorkshire ’there’s more than one way to skin a cat’.



I was looking for a way that it would automatically update, mainly so that it can’t be missed and also would save a couple of minutes per week.

Traffic light.

- This might be a special bar in the Gantt chart: When you’ll add a new bar, you’ll have to assign a filter: if code = xx AND actual finish not= (blank).

- It might be a a special colour in a report. The technique will be equivalent but will require a little knowledge about reporting, because you’ll have to use the editor.

- With a user defined field type indicator: Use a global change equivalent to the bars.

- The traffic light function of myprimavera or P6web: There I don’t know a solution.



I’m sure, multae viae Romam meunt (Many streets lead you to Roma), i.e. there might be more solutions.



Hope, I understood your question.



Dieter
