P6-Calculator - Special Calendar Requirements - Watch Now

Emerald’s P6-Calculator has special Calendar treatment capability. Years ago in SureTrak, we used to have the concept of a meeting calendar. This calendar required all resources to be there to allow work to progress, similar to how a meeting cannot progress without all the participants attending. In many industries, we have this requirement, but P6 does not have this calendar type out-of-the-box. For example, the rail/train, drilling, and pipeline industries have complex work windows that deal with animal migration windows that P6 needs to know about. In the rail industry, we need the track clear of trains or available for work so that the crew can perform the maintenance work on the rail line. Emerald’s P6-Calculator can make meeting type calendars and assign them to tasks automatically to ensure your schedule is more accurate. These can be user-controlled as to what resources and resource types to consider in developing an automatic meeting type calendar.

In this short instructional video, we will walk you through an example of special calendar requirements, and how you can use Emerald's P6-Calculator to make calendars automatically and assign them to tasks automatically to ensure your schedule is more accurate. Take a look to learn how this valuable tool can save you precious time and energy when setting up any special calendar requirements in Primavera P6.
