Primavera P6 Professional Release 8.2 Attachment Tools: Curtain & Tex

An example of The Curtain & Text Attachment Tools in Primavera P6

Let’s assume that you are responsible for the construction of an Office Building and that one of the activities on this project is Excavation (activity BA2020). During the course of the project, you experience a delay in Excavation due to a snowstorm requiring you to temporarily suspend work on this activity. You can utilize “Suspend’’ and ‘’Resume’’ dates to reflect this work stoppage. This temporary work stoppage will be displayed as a ‘’bar-neck’’ on the Gantt Chart. In other words, project team members reviewing the schedule will see that you experienced this delay. Under these circumstances, it is advisable to document the cause of the delay with a Notebook Topic.

You can also use the Curtain Tool to highlight the time range associated with this delay in order to make it easy for team members to quickly focus on the delay and possible impact on the progress of the schedule. Additionally, text can be added to the Gantt Chart using the Text Tool to provide further explanations. These tools enable you to highlight and focus on problems areas so that decisions (such as Change Orders or date extensions or adding additional resources to bring the project back on schedule) can be made regarding the remainder of the project.
