All,

 

Is there a way of showing the WBS level in any view? Even a formulae in global change to show the WBS level that the activity is in would help.

 

Thanks

    1) Iin Group and Sort Options - for the WBS grouping you are using, tick the box to "Show ID/Code"

    do you mean in the gantt area

    do you mean in the gantt area where the bars are ?

    if so in the gannt area rigth click bars 

    look for current bar labels and highlight it 

    then click on the bars label tab 

    on the bottom click Add

    then select the position that you want it on the bar

    under label select wbs path 

    or go to current bar 

    click on bar labels 

    then click on the bars label tab 

    on the bottom click Add

    then select the position that you want it on the bar

    under label select wbs path 

    if you are putting it under the bar make sure that the row hight is large enough to see it

    if you are looking to band the wbs in the gantt area that is not possible

    While other software can

    While other software can display WBS level as an activity field it looks like P6 cannot.Activity_WBS_leveljpg_Page1

    Of course P6 know the level and indent activity names accordingly, therefore if using Excel this can be calculated.

    Prenab, I don't know of any

    Prenab,

     

    I don't know of any in0built field in P6 that tells you that any particular activity is "level4" or "level7" of the WBS hierarchy.

    If I was tasked with presenting this, I would generate an activity Number UDF field, an use Excel to generate a value that would be imported back into the schedule to present. But you need to do this each time new activities were generated or if the WBS structure was changed.
