Hey all,

Does anyone know how to increase the Activity ID figures?? Basically at the moment P6 will only allow me to put in 20 figures.

For example: I want to have activity ID # ABCDEFGHIJKL123456789 (21 figures) though P6 will only 20..

If anyone knows how to change the length in setting or something please let me know!!

Thanks & Regards

    Hi,

    Why did you want ID too long? It make you more confuse.

    I don’t think you can make it except those who written the software and designed its tables in SQL.

    Duy,

    Thats what I said in my below email.

    The ID # I gave was an example, the number is a document number and it is a request from client to have number in schedule, also in planning procedure..

    I agree that its to long in most cases, but documents it should be ok.

    There needs to be an increase in ID characters!

    Thank you for you reply though.

    Regards
    Ben

    Ben,

    I think you can make use of User Defined Fields with text data type and type in your document number, then use global change to combine Activity ID + document number into another text field.
