Not enough space for Activity descriptions

48 char. sufcnt for xpresng thot.

Hi David,



Basically follow the verb noum pricinple



For example: puor concrete, install re-bars, paint wall



Then you can place location



pour concrete GF, pour concrete 1F, pour concrete 2F and so on and so forth



paint wall GF lobby, paint wall 23F U235, paint wall 23F staircase, and so on and so forth



Cheers,

Charlie

Brevity is the cornerstone of communication. Remember, you only have so much screen space or paper width to play with. If you take up ¾ of the page describing your activity, this leaves you with 2 to 3 columns to report on. If you narrow-down the column width to display more data, then the significant part of your activity description probably becomes lost. You should not be using all 48 characters for this very reason.



Now is the time to use some discipline so that you may reap the rewards of a better looking report later. Learn what thousands of P3 schedulers have learned before you; that you can organize your thoughts to say what you mean without writing an entire paper on it. Good luck!

Hi David

As P3 has about 25 years of age it’s based on btrieve as database, i.e. fixed and restricted record and field lengths.

You can use the log.
