Module 1: Part 2
1.2 Quick Tour of P6 Interface
Lesson Video: Exploring P6
⏳ Coming Soon
Open the software for the first time and explore main menus and sidebars.
The Primavera interface might look intimidating, but it's highly organized—think of it as a cockpit.
1. Main Menu (Enterprise vs Project)
Explain the difference: **Enterprise** menus define global company settings; **Project** menus control only the active project.
2. Directory Bar (Sidebars)
Show the Projects (Suitcase), Activities (Running person), and Resources (Small engineer) icons for quick navigation.
💡 BIMitPlaniT Tip: Keep your interface clean. Show students how to hide unnecessary toolbars to maximize the Gantt Chart area.
3. Details Tabs
The bottom section contains all the "secrets." Clicking an activity reveals its specific details (General, Status, Resources).
