Hi,
I have recently moved to P6 from MSP and therefore havea only a basic knowledge of P6.
I am preparing a schedule for a massive shopping mall (2basements + 4 shopping floors +2 parking floors) and i wanted to know what level of activity codes need to be defined.
If anyone has worked on a similar project and have a list of defined codes, please share them so that i can get an idea before I start working on my own coding structure
Thanks
Carum
This will be very helpful.
Thanks a lot Berker
