This month we return to Primavera P6 WEB and look at two new features available in the Activities page; the newly added Basic Gantt View and the View Resource Assignments pop up window, available when making new Resource Assignments on an Activity.
The new Basic Gantt View provides the user with easy to use fast performance with HTML5 scripting. The user can add or delete Activities, update Activity status, add or delete Resource Assignments, update Resource Actuals and remaining units and add, delete or change Predecessor and Successor relationships.
