Hi
i’m trying to setup a summary hammock that will allow me to roll up 5 successor activities. i’ve set the successors up as ff relationships as noted in the help files. I’m not to sure how to roll this up to a summary level though....

    Mark,

    You also have to set up the same 5 activities as Predecessors to the Hammock with Start-to-start relationships. Then re-calculate the CPM.

    The ‘roll-up’ occurs when you code the lower activities to be filtered-out ot the current view or report, leaving just the summary Hammock activity to represent them. Good luck!

    Yes Whatever Ronald suggested is the only way to solve your problem. If anyone else know any other way of Hammocking the activities please post reply.

    Hi eugene
    You can creat the Hammock activity in boath way. It is better in my opnion to use A1,a2,a3,b1,b2,b3 rather then HA, HB.
