Merlin Project: Base Costs Report as PDF
We received following question recently:
I’m using the latest version of Merlin Project on a mac and have created a project file where I needed to insert various base costs. I know Merlin Project sums them into planned, expected or actual base costs, but my client requested a detailed Base Costs Report to be printed or read in Preview or Acrobat Reader. The report should list all Base Costs on my project and export their properties. Is this possible?
To meet the requirement described above, you may use an AppleScript solution we developed.

We received the following question just recently:
I’m using the latest version of Merlin Project on a mac and have created a project file for a client. He has requested a project handbook to be printed or read in Preview or Acrobat Reader. The project handbook should list activities and attachments in a master–detail interface and export a set of predefined properties I am interested in. I don't mind if I need to use a script but I would like the action to do all works in one go; ie. iterate the items, extract the data and create the PDF. Is this possible?
One way to implement the customer's request would certainly be to use the File > Export > Image menu to export customized project views to PDFs or to call File > Print to print your documents.
However, to meet the requirement described above, an AppleScript solution developed by us comes in handy.

You plan your projects with Merlin Project? Then you already know how to add, schedule and link activities by dependencies. When ever an activity requires another one before it can start or needs to run parallel to another, or even start after a buffer, planing by dependencies saves you time in getting your schedule done. If one activity drives one or more activities simply link them together. Less dates you enter, the more Merlin Project can help you by calculating the project timeline.
You need to overview the predecessors of a specific activity to understand why it cannot be planned earlier? Or do you want to identify successors benefiting from assigning more resources early on in a chain of activities?
En savoir plus...Merlin Project supporte désormais Noteplan
Au plus tard avec la version 3, Noteplan est devenu un représentant sérieux des applications de prise de notes basées sur Markdown.
Avec la flexibilité de Markdown - qui vous permet d'écrire rapidement des textes et de créer des tâches - l'application offre également quelques options pour l'enregistrement et l'organisation des tâches. Ajoutez très facilement des balises et des mentions et accélérez ainsi votre flux de travail grâce à la saisie en langage naturel et à la complétion automatique des balises, des mentions et des liens.
J'ai été contacté suite à de nombreuses demandes de clients de Merlin Project qui utilisent également Noteplan pour la documentation : Ils cherchaient un moyen simple de transférer leurs données.
C'est ainsi que j'ai fait la connaissance du propriétaire et principal protagoniste au cours de cette année ; Eduard Metzger vit et travaille au Panama, où il profite non seulement du beau temps, mais aussi d'une excellente infrastructure. En conséquence, il donne toujours l'impression d'être très détendu lors de nos entretiens.
Grâce à notre interface AppleScript, nous avons pu réaliser un transfert de données simple. Un exemple de script gratuit peut être téléchargé ici.
