Hi guys,
I'm new to planning and am still finding my way round the P6 software. If someone could help me I'd be really grateful.
I have a large number of activities and am trying to group a small set of activities by the actual day e.g. On 1st December, these activities will be in progress. On 2nd December these activities will be in progress.
I have tried grouping by start date as most activies are only 1 day duration, but am looking to be complete. Is this possible in P6 v7.0? I realise this will involve duplication of activities.
Thanks
Andy
Andy,
You can filter for activities scheduled to be in progress for any range of dates, it can be a month, a week or a single day. If a single day remember to specify the range using hours and minutes as for the range to start the day early am and to finish the dame date late PM.
One day is too much granularity, I would consider filtering on a weekly basis.
Most software come with predefined filters for these purpose usually Primavera calls them "Look ahead".
I would keep my standard WBS for organizing the activities but perhaps would change sorting that will be applied within each WBS to be by start date. In my software I can select sorting per column by right clicking on the column title but other software have their own mean to do the same. Perhaps in P6 look for Organize Menu and there you will be able to select your sorting order. Make sure you have a way to return back to your original sort order, might need to define a user field for this purposes depending on how it was sorted.
Regards,
Rafael
