I created multiple layouts on a schedule. Each of these layouts relates to the critcal path as traced by going backwards on a few select activities individually. However while the layouts show up on the laptop where they were created, they do not show up when I access them from other laptops.(ie, the selected activities right at the end shows up but not the critical path that was traced)

Has anybody encountered a similar problem? As far as I know the settings are all the same.(including deselecting the filter option)

Thanks

    Are you working from a central server or stand alone version

    When saving the layout, make sure you make it is global or available to all.

    Hope this helps.

    Steve,

    You had replied to my query about layouts and I was wondering if you could tell me how to make it globally available or available to all? I have lloked at what Nathaniel suggested below and the access for all the schedules is set to read-write-Everyone.

    Is ther anything else I need to change?

    Steve seems to think you are using another version of Primavera - only P5 has got such feature as making layouts available globally etc. It is not a feature in P3 3.1.

    If using P3, you have to save the layout a different way than in P5 to make it available in other schedules. I believe this is a menu item in P3 that exports a file which makes the layout viewable in another project. In P5, it’s all in one database; P3 all about the group of files for each project. Sorry I can’t be more specific. Somebody else might know the exact procedure.
