Leveling priority definitions
Projects typically contain more than one chain of activities. If two activities from different chains are ready for leveling, P6 Professional chooses one using the priorities you specify in the Leveling Priorities area of the Level Resources dialog box. Then, it sorts numbers first, then alphabetic characters, followed by blank values. If you specify no prioritization codes, P6 Professional sorts by activity ID.
The following table defines your priority and order options for leveling resources.
Priority | Ascending | Descending |
---|---|---|
Activity ID | Levels activities with lower IDs first. | Levels activities with higher IDs first. |
Activity Priority | Levels lower priority activities first. | Levels higher priority activities first. |
Early Finish | Levels activities with earlier, early finish dates first. | Levels activities with later, early finish dates first. |
