Hello

I have created new Project Codes & want to show them in a Column but I just get there Code Value appearing & not the Activity Code Value DESCRIPTION.

How can I get the DESCRIPTION to appear in the Column View?

Help greatly appreciated.

Hello

 

Appears no way round getting the description to appear in the column. I discussed this with BP Primavera Systems team.

What they have done is Change the Code Value amount of characters to the Max of 20 and then type the Long Description in there as well.

So Code & Description actually a match.

Activity Code        Code Value         Description

PED-AREA             North East         North East

 

I have done so too and happy enough.

Thank you for getting back to me.

Dear Laura

I've tried to Find a Column with description of Codes but nothing found, So I have a suggestion to you.

If you use the "User defined field" behind of "Activity Codes",You'll reach to any goals that you want(filtering,global change,...)

If you tried this tell me.

Hello

I have created Activity Codes for Areas & I want t show those Areas in a Column.

When I apply the Activity Code as a Column, P6 displays the CODE Value in the coumn.

I want it to show the The Activity Code Description.

e.G.

Activity Code        Code Value         Description

PED-AREA             PED-01.01         North East

 

So P6 is showing "PED-01.01" in the colum - and not "North East"

Hope this makes sense.
