baseline bars<\/a> of a gantt chart. have a look at this gantt chart for this project. you’ll notice that the baseline bars have captured the relationships. what i mean by that is the baseline bars seem to have the relationship lines pointing to them and not the actual blue bars. and that seems to be the case for blue bars or red bars.<\/p>\nso the question is why is it like that? well, we’ll just go in and have a look. number one, we’ve got two baselines in here created. let’s see if we have them assigned. we’ll assign baseline. first thing i’ll notice is that i don’t have a baseline actually assigned. i’m just showing the current project in the baseline bars. so let’s go ahead and add this b2, and go ahead and set that b2 as my project baseline.<\/p>\n
really the reason why these…why the relationship lines don’t point to the actual bars is because of how the gantt chart is configured. if i right click on the gantt chart and go with the bars, it turns out that the way that these different bars are ordered in this list is important. you’ll notice that up at the top of this list i have the project baseline bar. and lower than that, i have the actual and the remaining work bar. and if i want the relationship lines to appear on the actual work and remaining work bars, what i need to do is adjust the priorities. and essentially, i can easily shift up and shift down buttons to do that. so we’ll go ahead and shift the project baseline bar down below all three of those actual remaining in critical. and then if i click okay, you’ll see that now the relationship lines have shifted, and they are printed to the appropriate bars.<\/p>\n
so once again we uncover some nuances of how primavera works and i’m working in from primavera p6, version 7<\/a>. hope you have a great day. i’m michael lepage.
