Actual bar split

Hi Pacifico,

It is possible to suspend & resume activities with Actual start date. However, it is not possible to make your actual duration become 33 days. It will remain in 6 days or 5.4 days since it is 90% complete. Only the "At Completion Duration" can be extended to 33 or more days even though you will apply the suspend & resume date.

Hello Pacifico,

I know what you mean. You can split the bar by assigning special calendar. let say, from Sep. 1 to 30 there is no activity occur for excavation during these days.

Now, create a new calendar. Select Sep. 1 to 30 as Nonworking days, when done click OK. Assign this calendar to activity "Excavation". To be able to see the necking on the bar, go to View --> Bars --> Bar Setting Tab, Under Bar Necking select "Calendar nonwork time". But prior to mark the checkbox make sure you select "Actual Bar" under timescale.

HTH.

I have had people come to me with this problem.

It seems wrong to show a bar from actual start date to actual finish date with no break in it, when it has been suspended and resumed.

This is catered for within P5/6 and is much simpler than creating a task sepcific calendar.

There is a tick box for ’activity non-work intervals’ under the bar-necking tab of the actual bar.
