Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi,

Have just purchased Powerproject and is now trying to find out how it works by following some of the tutorials, help-functions and so on. I’ve also opened an existing file and as I like to see my predecessors and successors in columns by ID/line no. I’ve defined the table definitions as such.

Can anybody explain what "ns" e.g. in "ns FS 0d" means? I’ve several of those with different start dates - and they are not constrained. How does this "ns" work?

Regards,

Bo

ns means the task that is linked to/from is "not shown" in the current view, usually due to a series of tasks being collapsed from view or the task has been marked for hiding.

You can find complete tutorial in youtube, or you can have them free from ASTA

Hi
I may be wrong but I think it means the predecessor/successor is ’not started’.
If you look at the properties for a particular task (right click on a bar and select ’properties’) and then look at its links, it gives you the progress for each predecessor/successor.

Simon
