Level II Project Analysis
Often in a major Construction Project or Programs, multiple Sub-Projects, span Project Updates. In Zümmer, these Sub Projects are identified as “Level 2 Projects”.
In this environment, Global Activity Codes are often used to construct Activity Codes intended to be use across multiple Projects. In Ƶümmer, the Level 2 Project Module allows the Scheduler to easily produce reports that can group Projects for a given Global Code Item assigned to this module.
To use the Level 2 Project Module, a Global Activity in the P6 System must first be assigned to the Level 2 Project Module. To do this, access the Code Assignment Window from the Settings Main Menu option.
Click on the Level 2 Project pull-down menu to display and to select the Global Activity Code Item that is used to list “Level 2 Project” items. The Pull-Down Menu displays all Global Activity Codes in the P6 System. It is not necessary for the Global Change Item description to be named “Level 2 Project”. For example, “Sub-Project” or “Minor Project” is often used in the Project environment.
Once the Global Activity Code is selected, the Level 2 Project Module is ready for use. This setting is saved for all Level 2 Projects printing in future Zümmer session until changed by the user.
In the illustration below, the Level 2 Project Module is displayed. The Project ID Pull Down Menu allows you to select the Project to be considered when a Level 2 Project report(s) is Printed or Previewed. The Project ID Pull Down menu lists all the Projects that have activities assigned a Global Activity Code Items from the Global Activity Code assigned for the Issues Module.
In the illustration below, a Project ID and Level 2 Project code is selected. In the Level 2 Project Pull Down menu, a specific Issue can be selected, or you can click on the “All” checkbox to indicate all Level 2 Project codes are selected.
Once the Project ID and the Level 2 Project ID options are selected, the available reports listed can be moved over to the Selected Reports Listbox for Previewing or Printing.
If the activities for the Level 2 Project selected is expense loaded, then the Level 2 Project 2 Expense Detail report will display the Budgeted Cost, Actual Cost, Remaining Cost and At Completion Cost for each assigned activity.
In the illustration below, “ALL” Issues were selected for Project ID – MST-BL1-UP33. Sub Totals are displayed grouped by Issues with the Grand Total for all Cost categories shown at the end of the report.
If the activities for the Issues selected is expense loaded, then the Level 2 Project Expense Summary report will display the Budgeted Cost, Actual Cost, Remaining Cost and the At Completion Cost for each selected Issue.
In the illustration below, “ALL” Level 2 Project were selected for Project ID – MST-BL1-UP33. Sub Totals are displayed grouped by Level 2 Project with the Grand Total for all Cost categories shown at the end of the report.
The Level 2 Project External Logic report is a subset of the Level 2 Project Logic Detail report and lists only those relationships that extend into another Level 2 Project.
This report lists those external relationships for activities that are assigned to a Selected Level 2 Project value or all Level 2 Project if “All” is selected in the Level 2 Project Module.
In the illustration below, “ALL” was selected for the Level 2 Project selection options while the selected Project ID is MST BL1-UP09 in the Level 2 Project Module. The report lists all assigned activities including the Activity ID, Activity Name, Original Duration, Remaining Duration, Start date, Finish date and Total Float.
In addition, the relationship and lag between the activities are shown. The External Level 2 Project is highlighted in the Ext. Level 2# report box.

In the illustration below, “ALL” was selected for the Level 2 Project selection options while the selected Project ID is MST BL1-UP09 in the Level 2 Project Module. The report lists all assigned activities including the Activity ID, Activity Name, Original Duration, Remaining Duration, Start date, Finish date and Total Float.
In addition, the relationship and lag between the activities are shown. In the case where successor logic goes out to an External Level 2 Project, that information is highlighted in the Ext. Level 2 Project# report box.
If the activities for the Level 2 Project selected is resource cost loaded, then the Level 2 Project Resource Cost Detail report will display the Budgeted Cost, Cost This Period, Cost To Date and Cost To Complete for each assigned activity.
In the illustration below, “ALL” Level 2 Project were selected for Project ID – MH-BL1-UP33. Sub Totals are displayed grouped by Level 2 Project with the Grand Total for all Cost categories shown at the end of the report.

In the illustration below, “ALL” Level 2 Project were selected for Project ID – MST-BL1-UP33. Sub Totals are displayed grouped by Level 2 Project with the Grand Total for all Cost categories shown at the end of the report.
The Level 2 Project Schedule Detail report lists all activities that are assigned to a Selected Level 2 Project value or all Level 2 Project if “All” is selected in the Level 2 Project Module.
In the illustration below, “ALL” was selected for Project ID: MST-BL1-UP33 in the Level 2 Project Module. The report lists all assign activities including the Activity ID, Activity Name, and Original Duration, Start date, Finish date and Total Float. Actual dates are shown in Red.
