Logging in Without Downloading Large Description Files

For Activity Details such as documents, description fields may contain a large amount of data, resulting in large file sizes and uncomfortably long download times, in particular when using a low-speed connection. P6 Progress Reporter offers a low-speed connection log-in option that enables you to download description field data as needed.

When you select the low-speed connection option, description fields that exceed the file size specified by the server administrator, typically 2K, display a link so that you can download the data at a later time. Description fields that do not exceed the specified size are downloaded at login. If you do not select the low-speed option, all description fields are downloaded at login, regardless of size.

To log-in without downloading large description files

  • In the Login to Primavera P6 Progress Reporter window, mark the Low Speed Connection checkbox.

When you are ready to download data for a description field that contains a link, click the link. A message displays to notify you of the file size.
