Summary WBS Bar

Ali,

They explain how to do this on Primavera training courses.

Hi Ali
I think currently Primavera does not support different color in WBS band (in Gantt chart window).
Workaround:
You can create a WBS summary activity for each WBS.
Go to View -> Bar. Create several bar with color you want. Create filter for those bar to appear only on WBS you want.

Thanks

Ali,

I have inherited a standard WBS Layout in P5 which appears to answer your question. Go to Group & Sort. Here I group by WBS Level 1 with indent and All. This provides different fonts & colours for each level.

With the previous 2 replies; I cannot create a filter for a particular level. What is the syntax? Does this change the colour of the summary bar?

Hi Mark.
I think we are mentioning WBS color in Gantt chart window , not in table window. Of course in table we can choose the color we want.
In WBS window we can not create filter for each WBS because parameter do not have WBS path.
In activity window we can do it because parameter in filter have WBS path.

Thanks

Hi Ahmet,

I already looked your sample. but it’s not P3 i think, maybe upper versions. Is it possible to do it in P3?

In P3, i couldnt show any bars for WBS level-1 and 2,only it shows bars for level 3.

1 - Architectural works............no bars in gantt chart
1.1. - Plastering..................no bars in gantt chart
1.1.1. - Ground floor plastering...has bar in gantt chart

In one of pdf samples, i did see, somehow it can be shown for L1 and L2 activities but how?

Could you give me any mail address to send it? I really appreciate if you solve this..Because ı know there is a way to show this, i was it on pdf file. But how did they do, i dont know.

Hi Ahmet.
It’s great that you can solve the problem.
I viewed your solution and saw that color are depend on WBS level. WBS level 1 have 1 color, level 2 have 1 color... and apply to all WBS.
Firstly I think the request of this issue is to apply different color to each WBS. It mean GC.1 have 1 color, GC.2 have another color... Can we do this in P6.

Thanks

Hi Ahmet.
I still can not do it. Which value in parameter did you use to filter WBS?

Thanks
