Issues with Total Float in Report

  • Start Float cannot be greater than 111 days.
  • Finish Float cannot be greater than 93 days.

Why 331d is still a mystery. It is a 3 to 1 ratio depending on time of day for start and finish dates. It might be the issue is within work patterns, perhaps an 8 h/d work pattern assigned to a 24 h/d calendar (?).  I do not use Asta PP but look for knowledge everywhere.  Work patterns is an interesting concept.

Working with Asta PP Work Patterns 

Work patterns on the same calendar are perhaps unique to Asta Power Project.  Work patterns look like applying multiple work weeks to different periods on same calendar, a special kind of calendar exception. This can be a common situation in some industries like Hospitals and Airlines.

Its use can be transparent if when displaying calendar on calendar column you can also display work patterns: Calendar1(WP1,WP2,…).

Two thumbs up to Asta Power Project.

Availability of resources is not only defined by work hours but might also be by geographical location. I wonder how location patterns could be better implemented.

This is an Asta forum not P6.

Float is always displayed in working days.

You may be comparing the result with calendar (ed) days.
