Construction Scheduling. Problems Modifying header and footer variables in Primavera P6 version 15.2?

It seems that there is an issue with Primavera P6 version 15.2 that makes it “impossible” to modify the variables for the header and footer sections.

This had me stumped too. But I found a work- around.

You can still add the variables by selecting modify and typing in the variable you want. Such as [cd] for current date or [filter_list] for the filters used or [project_name] for the project name…. There are commands for most all of the variables. I don’t have a complete list, but the common variables I use for most layouts is listed below.

Data Date:                    [data_date]

Project ID:                   [project_id]

Project Name:             [project_name]

Layout Name:             [layout_name]

Filter List:                   [filter_list]

Current Date:             [cd]

Page:                         [page_number]

Pages:                       [total_pages]

What other methods have you found to work around this issue?

Does anyone have the full list of commands?

I’d love to hear what you think!
