For those of you who routinely receive and/or submit P6 schedules, chances are you will eventually wind up with more Global Calendars that you can account for.
This is due to importing/exporting P6 schedules that are have assigned Global Calendars. If the Global Calendar does not exist in your database, P6 creates a new Global Calendar with the same name. Over time, your list of Global Calendars can grow to an unmanageable amount. For this reason, many project specifications prohibit schedule submittals containing Global Calendars.
In P6, you can determine which Global Calendars are used by Projects by selecting Enterprise->Calendars; highlight a Global Calendar, then clicking on the “Used-By…” command button. This method although effective is exceeding time consuming since you’ll need to examine each Global Calendar usage individually.
In Zümmer, there is a much more efficient way to determine Global Calendar usage. From the “Other Reports” menu, select “Global Calendar Usage by Project” or , “Global Calendar Usage by Calendar” then either Preview or Print (See illustrations below).
To eliminate Global Calendar usage, open the Projects listed, and then reassign the Global Calendar to a Project Calendar. Later you can delete the Global Calendars you no longer need.
