you will have to create a filter to select the activities you want to give another color; there is no such option as Primavera P3’s "View, Selected Bar, Modify Bar Format".
Go to View, Bars; then add a new bar and format it the way you want; then click the Filter column on this bar and create or select the necessary filter.
Alexandre - 0Arnold Puy ·Hi Sophia,
In addition to Alexandre info.
Try the following steps below:
1. Create a new "Activity Code" select "Modify", click "Add" Activity Code = MEJ, then "Close" then select "Add" then, Code value = MEJ; Descrition = MEJ Activities.
2. When done, select and filter the MEJ activities and assign the newly created activity code.
3. Then go to View --> Bars --> Click "Add", under "Name" as MEJ Bar, "Timescale" as Remain Bar, and in "Filter" click "New" then parameters: where: MEJ "is under" MEJ.
Hope this helps.

Arnold

Hi Planners, Hope you can
Hi Planners,
Hope you can give some assistance on how to format the color of the activity bar.
I've follow the procedure from previous post, like establishing activity codes, assigning the code and adding a new bar including the filters. But after applying all of these the bar still did not change.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
PS: I'm using Primavera 6.0

Dear Anel and Marlon,Kindly,
Dear Anel and Marlon,
Kindly, check the "Timescale" coloumn of your newly created bar. If the activities you want to highlight are already completed then select the "Actual Bar" and if the activites are not yet done then select the "Remain Bar" under the "Timescale" coloumn.
Hope this will sort out your problem.
Best Regards,
Kaif Mohsin
