is it possible for p3e to generate an id (1,2,3, .....etc) for group of activities organized and sorted in a certain way??

do i need to change the existing id’s ( it doesnot matter) or creat a new user defind column??

as i want to export the layout to msp preserving the same sequence

    I cannot think of a way to easily populate the activity ID or another field with a number corresponding to its group/sort order sequence other than manually typing in the number.

    The only way I’ve done it previously is to build the intelligence into the Activity ID from the start. I fear doing it retrospectively isw going to be a manual job.

    If you do find a way, please let us know.

    HI

    IF YOUR ARE USING P3 THEN I SUGGEST
    1.YOU CREATE NEW ACTIVITY CODE - SAY - "NEWID" IN YOUR PROGRAM

    2.YOU EXPORT YOUR PROGRAM TO EXCEL INCLUDING ACTITY ID AND ACTIVITY CODES -BY SORTING THE WAY YOU WANT IN MSP (TOOLS,EXPORT,....ANY REPORT,FORMAT,SORT).

    3.OPEN THE NEW FILE IN EXCEL OR LOTUS- FILL UP W THE NEWID THE WAY YOU WANT AND IMPORT BACK TO P3.

    First mister planner planner shoud IDentify himself and indeed you can easely change the id’s by using a global change and build (afterwards) all sorts of intellegence in it. a template of this global change has already been made so look it up and change it for your best result.



    regards
