Importing activities from P3 to Suretrack

Hi,

I have been asked to import activities from p3 to suretrack which seems straight forward. But why can’t i change the dates once it has been imported in suretrack? My hammock always starts on the project start date even though i have used every single constraint possible.

Can anyone help me?


Thanks

    If you post your question in the P3 forum I am sure somebody will have an answer for you.

    Cheers

    The problem is with your hammock activity. It does not have a legal start-to-start predecessor. Hammocks only observe start-to-start predecessors and finish-to-finish successor relationships. All other relationships are ignored.

    Without a proper start-to-start predecessor, hammocks always begin at the data date. Without a proper finish-to-finish successor relationship, hammocks always end at project completion. Hammocks do not obey constraints set against them. Good luck!

    Thanks for your comments.


    But why does the hammock work in P3 and P3e but not in suretrack.

    I think hammock does work in Suretrak as well as P3e or P3

    and what Ronald said is you need to have the right relationship to drive the hammock correctly

    One last thing; Hammocks in P5 are different from those in P3. P3 hammocks are very ’picky’ and may only be related in the manner described below.

    P5 Hammocks can use any type of relationship (and give quite some odd results for ’non-standard’ arangements.) Hammocks that ’work’ in P5 may not work in P3. Good luck!
