ORACLE PRIMAVERA P6 VERSION 21 DATE PICKER BOX ENHANCEMENT |
Oracle Primavera P6 Version 21 Date Picker Box Enhancement | In P6 Version 20 and earlier users could not see the time when setting a date when the User Preferences were set not to show the time. Often when setting an Actual Start of Finish date, Suspend or Resume date, constraints dates etc. P6 would pick an irrelevant time such as midnight. This is because P6 does not have the feature of Default Start time or Default Finish time found in other products like Microsoft Project. P6 Version 21 introduced a function titled Users may See and Set Activity Start and Finish Times in the Date Picker box when the User Preferences are set only to show the date. This function allows the user to see the time when setting a date even when the User Preferences are not set to show the time. | |
