good afternoon all,
one of you could well be about to help me out in a big big way,,,, my question is this,,,, i have my layouts set,, my filters written to allow me to look at the plan in what ever view i should choose, by what ever discipline and by what ever date,,, i would very very much like to know what i need to enter into a filter that will give me all of those activities that have missed their planned start date,,, the plan has been baselines and is now two weeks old


many thanks

    Ha Ha, another famous P3 trick.

    The problem is that you can’t filter by baseline date

    What you CAN do is set up 2 custom data items in your "live" plan;

    PLST Planned start
    PLFN Planned Finish

    These may already be set up, they are part of one of the standard templates.

    You then run a global change (after backing up - sorry if I said this before, but GCh can be so dangerous) which sets these custom data items to the ES and EF of the corresponding activities in your baseline. You may find this GCh under GL04 - Store Planned Dates for All Activities as it is also contained in one of the templates, designed specifically to solve your problem.

    Now you can filter on your baseline dates by setting the filter against the custom data items.

    then, to see activities which should have started but have not...

    PLST-LT-DD+0H
    (Planned Start < Data Date)
    AND
    AS-EQ-BLANK
    (Actual start = " ")

    Hope this helps
