Hi All,

Can anyone tell me or guide me on how do i customize reports using Modify Report feature of P5 or P6. it goes to some kinda ruler based thing and is not very easy to use as far as i had a look. The report wizard lets you create reports but everything that i want cannot be complied into one report with the wizard. The help file says that i need to use the report editor in order to get all the information as per my desired look by using the Report Modify or Report editor tool. Please can anyone help me with this. If anyone has some document/manual or any other notes can you please share that with me.

Please help me.

Thanks and Regards,

Manik

    Hi Manik
    If you’ll have a look into the "PMRefMan.pdf" --> Customizing Projects --> Customizing Reports --> Using the Report Editor.
    This probably will be the best introduction. the best way will be then to learn it by yourself.
    Some hints:
    Allways work with a copy.
    If you’ll need an additional data item to the wizzard, add another item with the wizzards, to replace it with the editor.
    Time distributed data: Allways create the table with the wizzard, no chance to do it with the editor.
    Use the preview button.
    There is an exit "Cancel".
    Good luck!

    Hi Manik
    The third cd out of the set delivered by Primavera is the documentation cd. There you can find this and other helpful files.

    Hi Dieter,

    I don’t have the CD as i am using P6 in my company and the software is loaded at our server in USA and all the project controllers across the globe use it via CITRIX imaging server. So no one will be having the CD of documentation of P6 and that is the problem. Can you provide me with the document you are talking about or the part which will help me. Or any website where i can get that.

    Regards,

    Manik

    Hi Mainik
    One remark: Your IT people should put some of the documentation files onto the server.

    Hi Dieter,

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    You can send the files to manik_nath@yahoo.com and copy them to maniknath@gmail.com

    About your comment we have already asked them to do so and the IT guys will come up with something which will help us. But it may take sometime as they are already working on something with the P6 database.

    Regards,

    Manik
