Thank you very much for your advise. My schedule is working in P5. Should be same the action method? However I have some queries.



I set the project group : Copper Tube Project, one is consist of;

1) Furnace Sys.

2) Conveyor Sys.

3) Packing Sys.



Those ones are created the seperated schedule like sub-schedule. I create the activity code and WBS in one set that is incorperated three sys. and assing them to three sub-schedule. Also the logical links have been across project ( from Furnace sys. to Conveyor Sys. and Conveyor Sys. to Packing Sys.)



Those schedules are check out to each planner for update ( the cut-off date is same ). Like above action, I can open three schedules in same time and scheduling ones to see progress and any effect??



Can I see overall schedule same as P3?



Please recommend me.



Regard,

Mr. Thor,



In P3 you can define a subprojects from the main schedule and open them simultaneously and update them . While in p6 this is different. You can open all the "project" then update as one schedule. Just make sure that sub-schedule are logicaly link with other subschedule to to get the correct updates when scheduling.



One more thing it is also a good practice that you have similar coding practice, WBS , project ID naming for more readabilty when combining them into one schedule.



Cheers,



Ronald
