Top Tips for Primavera P6
When you are managing a busy project, the last thing you want is to waste time. Primavera P6 is fantastic for helping you plan and manage important projects – but sometimes we all need a little helping hand.
To help you save time, we’ve put together some Top Tips for Primavera P6:
1. Drag to save time
Want to copy an object from one hierarchy to another? In Primavera P6 you can drag and drop between hierarchies to save a lot of time. Hover over the left band until the cursor has a white square. Now click and drag to between activities, projects, resources and more.
2. Finding projects
Want to find one specific project or EPS node in your Primavera P6 EPS structure? Instead of scrolling through to find it use Ctrl F and type in your project number to quickly jump to it.
3. Use your head
When adding headers and footers to your documents, Primavera automatically adds a double-space when you press ‘Enter’. This can result in a lot of lost space. To add a single space instead, hold down the Shift key when pressing enter. This can minimise the amount of space you need and your reports will look more professional.
4. Forward planning
Want to plan a couple of years ahead? There’s no need to click through all the months to advance through the years. Click on the Month-Year header at the top of any calendar dialog box and you can advance by year. To switch back to normal view, click the Month-Year header again.
5.Quick copy
Do you want to repeat data onto multiple rows? Select the cell to copy, hold the shift key down and click on the last cell to copy to and then use Ctrl E to duplicate. The data you first chose will now be copied down to all the other cells.
