(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.

Hi 

This question is really quite primitive but i would like to know if there are any advantages to a professional planner / scheduler if he switches from P3 to P6.

what are the additional features of P6 (other than having an enterprise Environment)?

how would a Professional planner weigh what he gains to what he looses when he moves from P3 to P6?

 

 

Regards

main Advantage in P6 i feel is Activity id numbering , and every thing in just right click group and sort and all .
