    Mr. Thor,

    In P3 you can define a subprojects from the main schedule and open them simultaneously and update them . While in p6 this is different. You can open all the "project" then update as one schedule. Just make sure that sub-schedule are logicaly link with other subschedule to to get the correct updates when scheduling.

    One more thing it is also a good practice that you have similar coding practice, WBS , project ID naming for more readabilty when combining them into one schedule.

    Cheers,

    Thank you very much for your advise. My schedule is working in P5. Should be same the action method? However I have some queries.

    I set the project group : Copper Tube Project, one is consist of;
    1) Furnace Sys.
    2) Conveyor Sys.
    3) Packing Sys.

    Those ones are created the seperated schedule like sub-schedule. I create the activity code and WBS in one set that is incorperated three sys. and assing them to three sub-schedule. Also the logical links have been across project ( from Furnace sys. to Conveyor Sys. and Conveyor Sys. to Packing Sys.)

    Those schedules are check out to each planner for update ( the cut-off date is same ). Like above action, I can open three schedules in same time and scheduling ones to see progress and any effect??

    Can I see overall schedule same as P3?

    Please recommend me.

    Regard,
