(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.

Import some project from P3.1 to P5.0, the activities are arranged by activity code, In p3.1, if no activity code is applied for some activities, then show null on the title line, but in P5.0, there is to be some titles like "No Step ,No Systems, No Work Scope"? How to get rid of them?

Hi Pacifico,

Sorry mate, didn’t realize that you wanted to be able to view some of your code titles, I thought that you wanted it all blank as per the screen dump...
Another work around would be to create activty codes with minimal info, say, an underscore ( _ ) or decimal point ( . ) and then assign these codes to the activities that have the "No XXXX" displayed. This isn’t an ideal solution, but its the best work around that I can think of @ moment. I’m not at work so I don’t have access to P6. I will look at it some more tommorrow.

A simple work around would be:
On your group & sort menu, make the font colur the same as the grouping band colour...

the problem with this mark if you apply same color the summarized activity at that level will also disappear....

Hi,Mark

I tried out, it failed to get what you want. You can’t choose none. It can’t Hide "No" titles.

Hi Frank

In the Group & Sort window, down the bottom are a serious of tick boxes, un-tick the ones you want to remove. ie, Title, Name / Description etc.

If grouping by more than 1 item you will need to select each one individually & remove the tick.

Regards
Mark
