Improved Functionality For Relationship Types In Primavera P6 16.1

In Primavera P6 V16.1 you can now simply include relationship type (and lag) information in a column!

We can display the predecessor/successor information we are so used to seeing, and we can now have the added functionality of displaying ‘Predecessor Details’ and ‘Successor Details’ as well.

(These columns are also available for use in reports.)

Let’s build a filter on these new fields.

Using the very simple filter above, we can filter to view only the activities with SS relationships in either the predecessor or successor logic links on the activities. (Filtering on these fields is also available in reports.)

Just a note on why we included the ':' in front of the ‘SS’ value in the filter. In this P6 file we have activity id's which contain ‘SS’. We do not have ‘: SS’ in any of the activity ids.

Running just the above filter example (without the addition of the ‘: ‘in front of the ‘SS’), results in activity C1-MIN-060 being displayed. The activity id component of the Predecessor Details column was picked up because the activity id itself contains ‘SS’, not because it has a SS relationship.
