Hello,
Is it possible to split activity bars in the Primavera TeamPlay bar chart?
P3 knows the "neck" functionnality, but no "split".
Thanks

I am in the progress of updating my Primavera Version 3.5 book to Version 4.1 and I am discovering things on the way.

You will need to update to Primavera Version 4.1 which now has bar necking. It was not in 3.5 and I do not know about 4.0 but I suspect it was.

Just to clarify on splitting, the only splitting I have found in Primavera Version 4.1 is when Retained Logic or Actual Dates are used and then a task will split with Out of Sequence Progress.

I don’t think so.
As alternative (can apply on P3, not sure PEC), you can divide the bar into several segment. The ’split’ are will be in white colour and no boarder, so it look like ’disappear’ on print out, except the vertical sighe line still ’missing’ on the ’split’ area.

Hi, Paul
it’s nice to work with someone staying the otherside of the globe!
I understand that P3 nor TeamPlay has the same functionnality as MS Project. My question is: does TeamPlay display the neck (in P3 the necked bar is slimmer) as a split?
All the best

Not in the way Microsoft Project does.
