Haresh,
By default Activity Id use the increment patterned of existing Activity Id. If you don’t want to use this pattern remove tick from Project Window-> Default-> Auto-numbering Defaults-> Increment Id based on selected Activity and it will use the new default Prefix.
Dear Rodel,
Yes , i know this option, but my question was , when we copy and paste a WBS , you can see all activity IDs are pasted with the sequance of numbers.
Suppose i am copying a WBS, with Activity ID V001, V002 etc, when i paste this WBS , my activity id becomes VO03 & VO04 (Increment by one). But if i want my activity id to be changed to VOGF01 , VOGF02 etc....this doesnt happens , even when we change in Project , default , and give prefix...."VOGF" and then increment by 1, even before copying the WBS......
All activity ID take sequance of my copied WBS instead of my default settings activity increment....
Kindly give a solution
Haresh,
The P6 equivalent for auto numbering is on Project Window-> Default tab-> Auto-numbering Default. You can set the Prefix, sub-prefix and the increment.
Ex:
Prefix = ABC
Sub-prefix = 100
Increment = 2
Activity ID = ABC100, ABC102, ABC104...and soon...
