Negative Lag

In Spider Project you can create both filters, for lag and for out-of-sequence/broken links.



If your obsolete software cannot get these essential filters then get more advanced software capable of filtering for lag and out-of-sequence. Missing these filters it is unwise by the developers.

Negative lag filter would look for lag < 0 but I avoid use of negative lag, only someone auditing my schedule would be interested on using such a filter. If you represent the Owner you should look for negative lag and also for lags too long, say lag > 10 days. The scheduler should explain why use of such values, on very, very rare occasions it might be justified. Misuse of lag can be on purpose, yes dishonest, but a few can dare to do so.

Rafael,

Perhaps this is off-topic, but why do you keep insisting that SureTrak will positively not work in a 32-bit Windows 7 environment? This simply is not true. I have SureTrack installed and doing quite well on my 32-bit Windows 7 computer.

Mostak,

The only way that I know to get a listing of negative lags in P3 of is to export all relationships to either 1-2-3 or dBase and sort on the lag field. P3 and P6 are activity-centric software programs that do not acknowledge relationships except for how they relate to activities. There are no relationship reports, only activity reports with the relationship information included. Good luck!

I appreciate your reply as I would like it to work on my version of windows 7 32 bit professional. I will install it again and see what it shows, and then I will let you know. I hope it works as you said. I admire your insistence on disclosing the truth and not misleading any of our PP friends, if it works I will be honest, not issue at all if I am wrong.

Best Regards,
Rafael
