Customizing Column Attribute Properties in P6

Quite often I have found that the out of the box or one size fits all applications are good for a short time. As your team evolves and the expectations mature, some modifications to existing software's are required to increase productivity. Although I have found this to be true with most teams and software relationships today I will focus on on interesting approach to tailoring columns in Primavera P6. Tailoring columns as well as creating user defined customization of attribute properties is quite easy. The caveat is, your security profile must be enable to allow access to functionality. With this said, open the column page by selecting the column icon; from here hold Alt key while pressing 012 for backstage access. From hear you have the freedom to manipulate and tailor for your needs. Sound simple, and it is, just give it a try. However, in closing it is important to track all of your changes and update your configuration management plan if you have one.
