Applying Saved Top-Down Estimations To a Project (P6 Professional Only)

After you specify the number of units you want to apply, P6 Professional distributes the total units to the selected activities, using the estimated weights assigned to the project's WBS elements and activities. P6 Professional uses these weights to calculate the proportion of resource units that each WBS element and activity should receive in relation to other WBS elements. P6 Professional also maintains a history of saved top-down estimations.

Apply saved top-down estimations

1. Choose Tools, Top Down Estimation.
2. Click History.
3. In the Estimation History dialog box, select the estimate you want to apply, then click Apply.

   Note: To apply top-down estimations to a project, you must have the "Add/Edit Activities Except Relationships" privilege, which is set in the Security Profiles dialog box.
