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

 

I am using Pimavea P6 Release 8.2 

 

I would like to know how to change the calendar used at the Group Totals. (Summarised to Project Level) 

Initially it uses Project Default Calendar as shown in the Calenda.....But on changing the default calendar it does not resummaise and does not give me resummarised date based on the default calendar.

(well actually Im working on a template from a previous poject and that has 7 days woking set as the project default calemdar,,, where as I want it in 6 days working+holidays at the project level....How can I do this??)

1. Create a clender  with 6 working days and Holidays of Your Organization.

2. Then Assign the calender by bringing calender column and assigning your calender to all the activities.

The duration for the summary at WBS level is calculated in following two ways:

1. If all the activities lying under a WBS follow the same calendar then the duration at the summary level is calculated based upon that calendar only.

2. If the activities lying under a WBS have different calendars assigned to them then the duration at the summary level is calculated based upon the Project's Default calendar (the one that is assigned under the Defaults tab of the Project window)
