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.

Would you please remind me ... to split an activity in p3 (much like MS project does) I recall that activity should have an actual start...

But how do I split it itself...

 

Thanks

Dear Mike and GT,

Please follow the following steps

  1. Make sure that you have highlighted the bar that you want to showing the necking
  2. View – Bar
  3. Click on the Remaining work activity and then go to the bar setting  and on the both option in Bar Necking Setting
  • Calandar non work time
  • Actiivity non work interval.

To see this option adjust time scale from year/months to Months / week etc.

I think it will work. It is useful for P6.

if not please send me ur email address I will send u the Screen shot.

Thanks and regards,

Ranjit

Hi Ranjit

How does this work if there are no resources - and does it create a physical split in the bar that you can add logic to?

Best regards

Hi GT,

Please try the following steps

Split Activity

1. Select Activity

2. Ctrl+I (or View –Activity Detail- Contraints)

3. Dialog box will appear go to the Level – Choose Split.

4. Shift+F9 ( Tools-Level)

5. Click splitting to open the Resource Splitting, Stretching and Crunching dialog box verify the project wide settings regarding the maximum number and duration of splits to allow per activity and the minimum allowable duration of a work chunk.

6. Level the Project.

Through this procedure you can split the resources. Please try it if you can successful. 

Best Regards,

Ranjit Kumar.

Hi G T

I dont think you can in P3 or in P6 for that matter.

Try converting your programme into MSP - split the tasks and then reconvert and see what happens.

Best regards
