Dear PPs
I am newbie here.
2 things i need to know
i... If we prepare a programme in P6, WBS will allocate automatically to each activity or we need to assign it manually ?
If manually then how can we assign this WBS to each activity?
ii.....In P3, in status bar at bottom , following items appear ’Area, Department, Responsibility’ etc but in P6 these items never appear. Only theses appear ‘WBS , Responsible Manager, Primary Resource’ etc
why? ’Area, Department, Responsibility’ do not appear in status bar in P6 as appears in P3
Is this possible to show ’Area, Department, Responsibility’ in status bar at bottom in P6 if we define these in Group and Sort?
Experts please help me out in above.
Many thanks
Steve

First of all, welcome to PP.
1. You need to assign manually. The easiest way is to create, organize & define the WBS first before creating activities. Then show the WBS into your activity windows by selecting the Group & Sort, and untick the chechbox next to "Hide if empty". When done, create the necessary activities under the level of each WBS.
If you have already the existing activities then you need to drag that activities or group of activities to that particular WBS. Or you can assign them using Excel sheet.
2. In P6, it is quite complicated because of filter command in the "Bars". First of all, create an Activity Code and assign them to the activities. When, done, go to "Bars" add new & rename the same with the activity code name. In the same window and dialog box, select the filter, select new & modify.
Let me know if you have done it.
HTH.
