Project Planning and Control Using Primavera Contractor Version 6: Including Versions 4.1, 5.0 and 6.1

Chapter 14: Printing and Reports

Overview

Note

If your headers and footers do not display in Print Preview then you need to down the latest patch from the Primavera web site, solution ID prim67575.

This is the stage at which the schedule is printed so people may review and comment on it. This chapter will examine some of the options for printing your project schedule.

There are two tools available to output your schedule to a printer:

  • The Printing function prints the data displayed in the current Layout.

  • The Reporting function prints reports, which are independent of the current Layout. Primavera Contractor supplies a number of predefined reports that may be tailored to suit your own requirements. Reports will not be covered detail in this publication.

Information

It is recommended that you consider using a product such as Adobe Acrobat to output your schedule in pdf format. You then will be able to e-mail high quality outputs that recipients may print or review on screen without needing a copy of Primavera.

Unlike Asta Powerproject multiple resource Histograms may not be printed on one printout.

Print settings are applied to the individual Layouts and the settings are saved with that Layout.

There are three commands used when printing:
