Does anyone know how to hide blank activity codes from the layout, currently I get levels with no associated coding stating e.g. No Area/Department?

    Hi Martin,

    If you are using P6.2 then unfortunately you cannot hide the blank activity codes. The best way is to use WBS.

    there is a workaround, you can put a point or a dash (. -) as a dummy activity codes and assign it to activities without activity codes, it is always better then those ugly no code.

    Martin,
    I’m not fully get your meaning, but if you can add a filter like Department is not equal to blank. your layout will exclude these items. hope its you want.

    Martin,

    Hope this helps,

    1. Go to View
    2. Click Group and Sort
    3. From Groups by Option, check "Hide if Empty" box.

    Cheers!

    1. create an activity code
    2. assign the code to the blank activity code
    3. create the appropriate filter.
    4. filter them out.

    heres a little trick for you guys. add a completly blank code using alt 0160. holding alt and on the num pad key in 0160 then release alt will enter what looks like a space. it does not act like a normal space using the spacebar and will save as a code value.

    if you dont have a numpad copy and paste whats between the " below
    " "
