Hi Mangesh



In P6 you will be able to export BL as well - as far as I know: up to 3.



As for the constraints it is always essential, to consider BEFORE you use them.

Hi

Dieter

thanks dear

well i have started to get frustated with p5 specially with import/export/check in/check out facilities,

i have never understood why the primavera people have always made us work in constraints (well i agree planners have to work with constraints).

in p3 also there are lots of constraints, e.g no of characters being limited for activity id, descriptions.

cant they sort this things out.( maybe there are some technical problems associated).

but how did they did not take into mind for such a basic thing that if some one is using standalone installations, they would need to export/import projwects, and what happens the baseline does not import/export with the project. quite a annoying thing.

Hi Mangesh



I do it this way:



- Arrange data as agreed with PM - filter, group&sort, row hight, colours etc. With the right mouse button in the table area all relevant functions can be accessed.

- Arrange bar chart or netview, right mouse button in the bar chart as well

- File --> Print Preview --> Page set-up (the icon in the upper left corner) --> adjust the print-out ("apply" for preview) --> close

- Layout --> Save as --> project’s-name + indicator --> For all users.

If I need a report to be printed, I just have to start the print.

Dieter

Hi Kevin



A layout belongs to a specific user or to all users, but is independent from a project. You can solve it, if you create a layout with a project’s data and then only use it with this project. The print layout is kept with a layout.

For P6 project related layouts are announced.

Hope I met your question.
