Asta Powerproject Macro Library

Posted Thu, 2024-09-05 23:04 by John Lau

Hi,

I am a new Powerproject user and I was wondering if anyone may know where is the Macro Object library document specifically for PowerProject?

The Object Library document is needed to develop Macro's and Automation and I hope it is similar to the ones from Microsoft Project (link to the MSP object library below) But it doesn's seem to be found on the official website nor was it found in the HELP file.

Using Task Work Feature

Posted Mon, 2023-11-20 02:04 by Prince Jhegro Per...

Greetings everyone,

May i ask your expertice about AstaPP?

WH is 8:00am - 5:00pm, Building Construction, Creation of BL Sched.

I want to use the Task Work feature in AstaPP, while doing it, i noticed that it makes my activies to finish in-between the day which allows the successor to start on the same day. I want the successor to start the next day even if the predeccessor is already finished before the end of the working hours.

May I ask someones assistance on this.

Thank you very much in advance.

Formula to display the duration including holidays

Posted Tue, 2023-04-04 11:00 by Andrew Owenson

My duration column will display the duration of the task excluding holidays. What I need is to display the duration including any holidays in the programme. so if it ran over a bank holiday, the duration would be 5 +1, if that makes sense. In excel I would use Networkdays & not add the holidays.

Regards Andrew

Show/calculate elapsed days between two tasks.

Posted Tue, 2023-02-07 15:30 by A. E.

Is it possible for ASTA to count the total number of days between two tasks? IE, I have an 'implement detour' and a 'remove detour' task at the beginning and end of my project respectiely, with tasks in between, and I need to know how many days the detour will be in place for. Can ASTA tell me this, or do I just have to count it myself? Thanks!

When displaying Elapsed Duration in a column can it be displayed without the "e" ?

Thank you

Hi,

Can anyone share their experiences, positive or negative, of using PowerProject in the enterprise environment, with multiple planners accessing the programme remotely / over distance via citrix (or another means).

thanks

Creation of Exclusion Period

Posted Tue, 2022-03-22 17:47 by Chris Wilson

Hi,

I have a project where I have split the fit out of a floor area into a number of different sections call them area 1,2,3 & 4.

Area 1 has UFH and so whilst this is being layed and screeded will restrict access to the other areas which come off it. Each of these areas may be at a different stage of fit out when area 1 UFH is to start.

New Task ID's when entering progress

Posted Mon, 2022-01-10 11:01 by Martin Corkill

Hi All,

I've just noticed that when entering progress into PowerProject v16, it's adding new Task ID's, so for example, a task id would go from "1013" to "1227, 1013". This is when I have 'live' data as the option for the field. Does anyone know why it's doing this?

Thanks,

Martin
