Automatic Reorganizing in P5

In the Open Standard

I installed P5 today and while I am editing activity codes it keeps automatically reorganizing/sorting and I lose my place in my schedule. I went to user preferences and "reorganize automatically" is not selected. I moved the chevron off the activity code column I am working in to another columnn (activity ID) but when I edit in the columns (preferred) it still reorganizes. What’s up with that??????

HELP and thanks, Beth

    This happens to me too. It only happens on one of the activity codes in the group (of 4) and this has happened on another of my projects. Now if Re-organize automatically was checked it would do this for all changes to activty codes.

    I will check out POINT and report back if I find anything.

    Problem: Activities are reorganizing even though the Reorganize Automatically Option is turned off

    Fix: This known problem in Project Management 5.0 is currently under review and may be corrected in a future release.

    I just checked with some codes in P6. It has worked so far. When automatically reorganize option is turned off, you can edit, codes and WBS and they remain there. You can then Fill down to correct if for multiple activities.

    You are probably correct this is fixed in P6 but even though you have done a test doesn’t mean it doesn’t still exist. For 95% of my activity codes there isn’t a problem but every now and then there is an activity code when I change the value it moves from the current place to the new area. This is annoying as you can’t fill-down the remainder.

    You are correct. I have noticed that sometimes I get rid of the chevron in the column header and it will not do automatically reorganize. I am not sure yet how I have managed to do this. Hope this helps!

    Hi All,

    If you change somethings on the settings like "Group & Sort-> Reorganize Automatically" make sure to press F5 functions to refresh the database. Sometimes it will not effect any changes without refreshing the database.

    Hope this help,
    Rodel
