(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 All
I was reviweing a contractor's schedule as part of a delay analysis exercise when I noticed that the time set on the data date progress line was 08:00.
The work calendar is due to start on 07:00 so for every progress report one hour is lost on the programme.
It could have been much worse if the data date time was 12:00.
I suggest that the time on the data date is set earlier than the dominant work patter start time.
Best regards

Oracle/Primavera’s definition of a Data Date is the first moment that new work is able to start or resume. It is not the same thing as a status date.
In Mike’s example, he is quite correct to request that the Data Date be set to 07:00. I believe that P6 automatically sets it to 08:00 as a default.
Hi Mike,
I've always worked on the basis that the data date (& time) should be set to the last point for which you have progress information.
Hence if dominant work pattern finished at 6pm on a friday, my data date for a weekly update would be 6pm on a friday
Cheers,
G
