Copying Links

Posted Thu, 2015-06-18 11:50 by Chris Lothian

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to copy links from one task to another?

 

i.e. I have a task that has a lot of finish to start links coming from it, I've created another task  and want to give it the same successors. Is this possible, without manually creating each link?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Chris

Top Down Forecast Entry (Manual)

Posted Mon, 2015-03-09 16:37 by Adam Garnham

Afternoon All,

Hoping you can help me out please.

I am trying to work out how to manually enter forecast & budget values per month. I am happy with bottom up forecasting but more often than not the clients cost engineer creates a monthly rolling forecast (in Excel) that then needs plugging into project/primavera/asta each month against some high level (often WBS level) bars.

Happy with doing this in everything but Asta, so any wisdom on how this can be achieved in Asta would be fab.

Thanks in advance. Adam.

Asta - Draw curve if vertical

Posted Mon, 2015-02-09 10:12 by Mike planner

Hello All,

 

Hope you all had a great and rested weekend. A programme has been set to draw curve if vertical by default so everytime i draw a link between 2 tasks, the link will become curve automatically if its vertical.

 

Can i know how do i reset it to straight link by default? 

P.S I can set the links to straight link manually after i drew a curved link but that would be a bit waste of time. I want a straight link by default.

 

Many thanks

Mike Planner

Negative Values For Task Allocations (Cost / Income)

Posted Tue, 2015-01-27 14:14 by Chris Lothian

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a negative value against a income / cost?

 

Reason for wanting to do this, is that I have an a highway maintenance contract where the client has given us anticipated spends against a list of tasks, but the actual spend was less. Rather than go through and adjust all the anticiapted spends, I was hoping to insert a new task with a negative value against it which represented the sum of the underspend.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Chris

 

Using 2 calendars

Posted Fri, 2015-01-09 17:20 by Andrew Owenson

Hi Guys

I am using two calendars, one with xmas & bank Holidays, and one with just xmas. The one with xmas + bank holidays is the project calendar and the other is applied to some of the activities. When I apply the second calendar to an activity, the bank holiday stops either side of the bar. Is there a way of making the main calendar go over the activities. I dont need anyone to know I am using 2 calendars its just visual.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Andrew
