What is a reverse logic event (or activity) as per Microplanner? Please clarify if an event or an activity or both.
Look on the following link as a reference: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1035_RD-CPM.pdf
I am not sure about the need of RDCPM because Spider Project have many of the features the paper says can only be implemented with RDCPM, perhaps convenient but not necessary.
I am curious about some other activity types available in Micro-Planner in addition to the Ladder Type I remember from the times when I was a user of Microplanner for the Mac.
Maybe Microplanner also implements the Topic Activity available in SureTrak and MSP. A special kind of summary activity that can be created in SureTrak by converting an outline summary bar into an activity while in MSP outline bars need not to be converted. This special kind of activity can be assigned links as to drive or be driven by other activities.
If some one of you can give me a reference detailing all activity types/events/links available in Microplanner that I can keep and use for further reference will be appreciated.
John,
RE: Ladder Activities
I used them before with Micro Planner and loved them, and correct me if I am wrong. I loved them because some of my ladders required for the "Rungs" to adjust size as other "Rungs" speed up or slowed down as to maintain a continuous rate of feed, different from the traditional CPM ladder. With Micro Planner I had both options, the traditional using SS and FF links while for the continuous feed I would use the Ladder Activity. I believe the Ladder Activity had some limit as to the amount of Rungs.
It is a pity the infatuation with certain software is not promoting the adoption of such functionalities, we are missing the point that competition is good for everyone.
Best regards,
Rafael

Re: "Reverse Logic" node
Thanks for the response, it is clear how it works. I am assuming it works for both activity on node and activity on arrow methods.
Nice functionality, a need not as uncommon as some believe. Wonder if you can control for it to be ANY TWO/ ANY THREE ... although seems to me like as I understood it control for it to be ANY TWO/ ANY THREE ... can be done but with a few additional steps.
Best regards,
Rafael
