We have been working in P3 and are nowadays trying to shift to P3ec. I started this thread in P3ec forum and wanted to learn as to how I could make project specific layouts. Apparently, from the discussion I got an idea that the layouts can’t be made project specific though I believe that the users might have devised some turnarounds to overcome this shortfall.
I would rephrase my question as follows:
We have a number of active projects in a single database and each has a few layouts to be printed after every update. Now in P3e/c when I open a single project all the layouts of all the projects are visible in the dialogue box and it could be well visualized that it is quite confusing to find the desired layouts from a big list. As an interim, I have started naming the layouts with a prefix which is an abbreviation of project names though I am in a search of a better method. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Found out something interesting today, thst P3 has some interesting attachments, inter alia something that can do "line of balance" might be out of your field, but has some scope in certain disciplines. What else are they not telling us?

Bill,
P3 e&c layouts are simpler and easy. Person who understand in P3 will also and easily understand in e&c.
Actually knowledgible persons like you is required in e&c discussions.

Hi Bill Gutrie,
I think the original question is referring to P3ec not to P3 thats why you differ with the other Bill.

Hi Bill G,
Found out something interesting today, thst P3 has some interesting attachments, inter alia something that can do "line of balance" might be out of your field, but has some scope in certain disciplines. What else are they not telling us?

I agree with Bill G,
I find the layout capability in P3 useful.
Hi Rashid, if Primavera will not help you, then, go back to P3.
We do miss the things we were comfortable in P3.

Layouts are not saved with the project. They are either user specific or global to all users.
