Dear Anel and Marlon,
Kindly, check the "Timescale" coloumn of your newly created bar. If the activities you want to highlight are already completed then select the "Actual Bar" and if the activites are not yet done then select the "Remain Bar" under the "Timescale" coloumn.
Hope this will sort out your problem.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Arnold please send me the screen shot, i have sent a mail to your box
Many thanks
Hi Sophia,
No, you have created filter earlier for the galley floor repairs, select this filter.
Otherwise, email me at [email protected] and I will send you the screenshot.

it on all selected filters, should i change it to any selected filter ?
Hi Sophia,
Did you change the Filter in the View --> Bars? If not, change it to selected filter which contains only Galley floor. And check as well the position of the Bars in Bar Style Tab.

Hi Sophia,
Your newly created activity code is MEJ, assign MEJ to Galley floor repairs. When done, proceed to steps 3.

Hi Arnold, thanks for your guide. however i have followed the steps you outline,but i got lost in step 2. where do i go to select and filter those mej activities i have identified.
Asuming Galley floor repairs is an mej, how do i apply step 2 to these before progressing to step 3.
I appreciate your reply thanks
Hi Sophia,
In addition to Alexandre info.
Try the following steps below:
1. Create a new "Activity Code" select "Modify", click "Add" Activity Code = MEJ, then "Close" then select "Add" then, Code value = MEJ; Descrition = MEJ Activities.
2. When done, select and filter the MEJ activities and assign the newly created activity code.
3. Then go to View --> Bars --> Click "Add", under "Name" as MEJ Bar, "Timescale" as Remain Bar, and in "Filter" click "New" then parameters: where: MEJ "is under" MEJ.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Arnold
Sophia,
you will have to create a filter to select the activities you want to give another color; there is no such option as Primavera P3s "View, Selected Bar, Modify Bar Format".
Go to View, Bars; then add a new bar and format it the way you want; then click the Filter column on this bar and create or select the necessary filter.
