Hi,

I received a new P6 programme with several resources. Is it any option to import the programme without the resources. I tried the modify data while importing, but not working.

Thanks

Regards

Kannan

    Davids solution is an option

    Davids solution is an option but there are two other options

    option #1 

    during the importing process select modify then under the Data Type Global change the action to Do Not Import for al of the items listed Resource Codes, Resource Code Values, Roles, Resources and Shift Names.

    option #2

    go to admin then to Security profiles and then to global profiles and under Privilege UNCHECK the box next to Add Resources.

    exit out of P6 get back in and then import the project without this Privilege the rescources CAN NOT be imported.

    If you plan on doing this a lot I would suggest that you create another user call it admin1 or something and then make sure that the add resource Privilege box is not checked under this user log in. This way you dont have to keep changing it back and forth.
