Oracle Primavera P6 Professional – Get Filter Savvy

How to Mix the ‘And’ and the ‘Or’ Options in One Filter

Building a filter where all the conditions are either ‘And’ or ‘Or’ between each row is pretty straight forward. However, if you want to mix them up a little it’s not so obvious how you should do that in Oracle Primavera P6 Professional. This article will show you how.

Example: I want to find all the milestones in the project that have a date variance that is not equal to zero. In other words, I want to see any milestone that is now sitting on a date other than its baseline date.

Primavera P6 Professional allows you to assign up to three user baselines and one project baseline per project. The following article explains these capabilities and how they can be helpful in tracking the overall status of a project and near-term interim variance reports.

Take a look at the following diagram (taken from the Ten Six Primavera P6 training course) that outlines the concept of project and users baselines.

How to define Resource Productivity in Primavera P6 and create schedule

Posted Sat, 2017-11-25 00:33 by Khuong Do

When create a schedule, we can based on Resource Productivity to estimate duration.
