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.

Project Codes

I have 3 projects and all have different Activity Codes for Systems.   I would like to use one common code to be able to group and sort on a layout with all 3 plans.   Can I create a set of codes in one of the projects and then move this to a global level to use with the other 2 project schedules. 

This should have been set up at the beginning but I got into this late.

Copy and Paste will do.

Copy all Activity Project Codes to Activty Global Codes. After copying add a prefix to the Global Codes to make them differ.

Ron,

The name that you give a project-specific activity code is just the external label. Internally every code has a unique obejct ID. It is unhelpful that Oracle allows you to use duplicate labels. You cannot do what you want with project specific codes. A Global or EPS level code is required.

Ron, Use EPS Level Activity Codes, and add the EPS Activity code to Common EPS node under which each project is placed. This way the Activity Codes can be used across all projects and you may use this common code for all grouping and Sorting.

Of course the same can be achieved by making the activity Code a Global code also.
