Hi,

I have dealt in P3.1; two options in Scheduling i.e. retained logic and progress override. But P6 have one more options i.e. Actual Dates………What is the logic behind using actuals…..I have read from help menu that Actual Dates will schedule my backward and forward passes using actual dates.
I think Progress override is also of the same use. It will override my logic and use the actual progress to determine the progress of work……..Can anybody explain what is the exact use of “actual dates”

    Progress override means ignore the logic while Actual dates is not but using actual date when calculating forward pass and backward pass. Below is example of the difference.

    Hi,I am currently migrating

    Hi,

    I am currently migrating from P3 to P6.  In one of our reports - Variance Analyis in P3 filter I can define the filter the following:

    if Actual dates Is WR DD-30D DD+0D

    where Low Value = DD-30D

              High Value = DD+0D

    In P6 the Actual dates is not there...  it was changed to something. I tried to use the Planned  Start or the Actual Start but the result was different than I expect. Can you help with this? Thanks.
