Part $1$

For some$$ exercises, it is now possible to copy tables in myomlab that are marked with the copy$$ icon, $,$ and paste into Excel and POM for Windows. In order to do so in$$ POM, you must have Version $4$ of POM for$$ Windows, which is available from the Download Center section of your myomlab course.

The following is an example of a question that can be copy and pasted from myom$$lab:

A manager has been very concerned with the amount of time it took to complete several recent jobs. Some of her workers are very unreliable. A list of activities and their optimistic completion$$ time, the most likely completion$$ time, and the pessimistic completion time$($all in$$ days$)$ for a new contract are given in the following$$ table:

Part $2$

In order to copy from myomlab and paste into POM for$$ Windows:

$1.$ In myom$$lab$,$ click on the copy icon$($located in the upper$$ right$-$hand corner of all applicable$$ tables$).$

$2.$ In POM for$$ Windows, create the appropriate model.

followsFor this$$ example, you must use the Project Management$($PERT$/$CPM$)$ Module.$$ Then, go to$$ "new" and select the triple time estimate. Enter $11$ as the number of activities and click$"$OK$."$

$3.$ In POM for$$ Windows, click on the paste from myomlab icon on the$$ toolbar, $.$

followsPlease note that the regular paste$$ routine, $,$ will not work in POM for Windows.

Part $3$

Follow the steps above to copy and paste the table for this exercise. Note that although the table in myomlab is not structured in the same manner as the module in POM for$$ Windows, all of the data pastes over seamlessly.

Part $4$

No matter how a data table is structured in myom$$lab$,$ when it is pasted into POM for$$ Windows, the data will paste seamlessly in the order and format that POM is expecting.

True

Part $5$

In order to copy from myomlab and paste into$$ Excel:

$1.$ In myom$$lab$,$ click on the copy icon$($located in the upper$$ right$-$hand corner of all applicable$$ tables$).$

$2.$ In$$ Excel, click on the paste icon on the $$toolbar$,.$

Follow the steps above to copy and paste the table for this exercise. Note that the table in myomlab pastes into Excel exactly as it is$$ presented, and slight rearranging may be necessary from within the Excel spreadsheet. As with any Excel$$ spreadsheet, you will need to create any necessary formulas to solve the problem. If you are using Excel$$ OM$,$ you can paste into a blank area in your$$ spreadsheet, but will then need to rearrange the data and paste it into the Excel OM template in the format that it is expecting.

A table copied from myomlab will paste into Excel in the same format as it is presented.
