I'd like to create a schedule of dates that move with the programme for notification periods flagging when to submit documentation. Example would be a method statement that needs submitting 20 days before the planned date that work starts. As the the programme moves with progress I want the submission date to move as well, but I don't want to clutter the programme as there will be many docs to submit at various times.
I don't want to use ALAP constraints with lags as they degrade the programme score, so I'm hoping P6 has a tool to generate this schedule elsewhere.
Alternative I guess is to export to Excel and manage it there, but I'd prefer not to do that as its extra steps where things can go wrong in translation.
Any ideas?
I gave it a try using my software of choice and it worked as expected. The notification type is selected from a pull down of 3 values (empty/S/F) and the formula is applied automatically as specified, whenever a schedule run is executed.
The formula is a bit tricky as I had to convert B into seconds, this you shall figure out.
Good Luck
Hmm that's an idea, I'll give it a go thanks
I do not use P6 but maybe you can try using a few User Defined Fields [UDF] along with a Global Change ...
You will have to figure it out the details on the global change formula. Maybe P6 provides for UDF data validation and you can define it to be as per a pull down menu.
If it works as expected then you can filter Notification_Date by any date range.
Good luck
