TABLE OF CONTENTS The Work Breakdown Structure WBS function was discussed earlier as a method of organizing projects and activities under hierarchical structures. There are alternative features available in Primavera Contractor for grouping, sorting and filtering activities, resources and project information:
Activity Codes
User Defined Fields (UDF)
Project Phase or WBS Category
Resource Codes
Cost Accounts
| Information | There are no Activity ID Codes in Primavera Contractor like the function found in P3 and SureTrak. In Primavera Contractor each project must have a unique Activity ID but no logical code system may be associated with the Activity ID. Some users double code activities so some Activity ID characters are the same as an Activity Code. In other products fields such User Definable fields are often populated with a function titled Global change or cut and paste or by the use of a formulae, but none of these feature have been included in Primavera Contractor and therefore limits how these fields may be populated. |
