P6
Release 24.4
User Administration Improvements
The User Administration page provides more efficient access to the user count.
- A roll-up of the total number of users assigned each module is shown when the view includes modules columns.
- A Filter menu allows you to hide inactive user accounts from the view.
Standardize User Settings With Ease
The Copy User Settings dialog box makes it easy to copy settings from one user to multiple other users. For example, you could create template users for different access configurations then copy the user settings from one of the template users to one or more other existing users when you need to set up or change users configurations. The settings you can copy are gathered into the following groups: Module Access, Resource Access, User Interface Views, Global Security Profile, Project Access, and P6 User Preferences. You can copy one or more groups of settings to other users and at the same time you can prevent those users from being able to change their preferences.
Summary Bar Labels Roll Up Data Fields
In the Bars dialog box of the Activities view, the label field on Summary bars shows the value of the field at grouping level. For example, if your view is grouped by WBS and you select Activity Count, then the summary bar will be labelled with the number of activities in the group. However, if you select a WBS UDF, the summary bar will be labelled with the value of the UDF at the group level.
Drag Milestones and Remaining Early Start Date on the Gantt Chart.
You can drag milestones on the Gantt Chart view of the Activities page to apply a Start On or After constraint to the activity. A Start On or After constraint allows your milestone to be held in place at a future time unless scheduling logic pushes it later.
You can drag the Remaining Early Start of an In Progress activity's bar on the Gantt Chart to a later date. If the Remaining Early Start is after the Actual Start date, you can also drag the Remaining Early Start to an earlier date back to and including the Actual Start date for the activity. Dragging the Remaining Early Start does not apply a constraint to the activity, therefore the scheduler can overwrite changes that you make by dragging the Remaining Early Start date of an activity.
