Hi,

in IFS this is currently not possible.
you can make a start to start relation and a finish to finish relation, but that is not the same.
In IFS that does not influence the duration of the activity.

Looks like you want a Hammock Activity like P6 can do.

So you could integrate with P6 and schedule there, or make a small CRIM item that does this for you.

The scheduling is rather simple ricght? the hammock activity has a planned start = planned start of the source, and a planned finish = planned finish of the source.

You would need a Custom Menu Item to trigger a small script to do this for you, after you scheduled the rest of the project in IFS

Hi Erik,

thanks for your very quick answer. I also though about a Custom Menu while waiting for a Primavera integegration but i wanted to be sure that there was no other option.

Thanks a lot for your support  

I think you should be able to do that using a couple of dependencies.

1. Create 2 dependencies between 2 activities in Gantt
2. And RMB on each line and set up the settings as “START-TO-START” & “FINISH-TO-FINISH”.

Hope this helps.

Hi Dasuni,

thanks a lot for your answer .

I’m trying to run your advice, my setup is the following:

unfortunatelly, when i expend the main activity …

… the dependent activty is not updated :

Did i make something wrong?

Thanks for your feedback 

@RECOFR 

Check if both activities have the same “Total Work Days”. One seem to have less work days

Hi Dasuni,

here is what i set, dates and work days are identical:

And here is what the system does when i tried to extend the start date of the main activity:

As you can observe:

• the start date of the main activity is back to its initial state
• the finish date of the main activity moved to the future
• the finish date of the dependent activity didn’t change

This is making me crazy
