Primavera Report Writing > Graphics & Calendars

[sbgalaxy]

Hi,

I'm a project scheduler, epxerienced with P5 & P6. I'm currently using Primavera P6.1 (the most recent). I haven't done much report writing, but I am currently tasked with creating two customized reports.

GRAPHICS ON REPORTS?
One of them is an overall look at a project, so it would include the project start/finish and some project level user defined field values. The UDFs are indicators. I want the report to show the graphic value of the indicator, but I'm not sure how to make P6 give that. It seems to only be able to give the text value ("green").

CALENDAR REPORT?
I know we all want to create a report that is essentially a lookahead, but put it on a calendar layout. I've asked Primavera if this is possible but they just refer me to the PARs. I used to work for a PAR and I'm sure they haven't created the calendar report. So does anybody have any suggestions for creating a calendar style report? It would list each task that is either starting, ongoing, or finishing on that particular day.

All suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Sarah
