I have imported an 8,000 activity project into P6.2. The current activity ID's are 1, 2, 3 and so on.

 

I would like to prefix these with T00, to become T001, T002, T003 and so on.

Tried various global changes without success. Can anyone tell me if they have managed to achieve this and if so, how?

Grateful for any advice

 

Thanks in advance

    Another option is to ensure

    Another option is to ensure there is no Grouping, set the default Activity ID Prefix in the Projects window Defaults tab to be T, Activity ID suffix to be 000 and increment of 1 and not Increment Activity ID based on select Activity ID, the copy and paste the whole schedule and delete the old tasks.

    P6 Version 7 has a renumbering option and sorts out a few of the many calendar issues so it is well worth while upgrading to P7.

    If you are importing from MSP you may wish to look at my technical article at www.primavera.com.au on the issue with importing from MSP.
