Can I export a report

Posted: 06 May 2004 07:09 AM PDT

Hi Danielle,

Also, some of the reports are also available in the "Save As... ->Excel"
feature. If the one you want is not available, use the "New Map" feature
and model something that is very similar to the report you want.

Fiscal Calendar

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to do with reporting
and fiscal year. Maybe I'm just dense this morning or something. Please
give me an example and then perhaps we can help you.

You can dispay all the earned value measure from the menu - View, Tables,
MoreTables and select any of the several earned value tables available.
Don't forget to set the status date in the project information window first.

progress during non-working times

Posted: 05 May 2004 11:51 AM PDT

Gerard's answer gave one approach. Another that I favour is to show the
Saturday work as 10 hours of Actual Overtime Work on the date it was done,
entered using the Resource Usage view. I think the calendar should show the
scheduled work time of the resource only and work performed outside of those
times is posted as overtime work, regardless of whether the resource is
actually entitled to premium OT pay or not. In line with that, to get the
costs to come out right I recommend that people who do not get premium pay
have their overtime rate entered using the same value as their regular rate
so those Saturday hours don't show up as freebies in the budget (some users
and most courseware say to set the OT rate to zero for managers and
professionals who don't actually get extra overtime pay but I don't think
that approach gives an accurate estimate of the true costs.) He's gonna get
paid for 'em, whether directly or indirectly, by taking a little "mental
health comp time" off when his schedule allows.

Work Days vs. Calendar Days

Posted: 05 May 2004 09:39 AM PDT

OOps - forgot to add 1 day in the formula previously (what can I say, it's
late!)

DateDiff("d",[Start],[Finish]) +1

Without the 1 it gives Mon thru Fri as 4 days, not 5.

Project 2003, Open a project, display is blank

Posted: 05 May 2004 07:50 AM PDT

Thanks for your reply but someone else in the office had
the fix. I had to:

Remove the shared sites gbui://blank.htm, and
gbui://mainpage.htm.
Then download and run this fix to the registry, not sure
where they got this, Project 2003 gbui error fix.reg

Again, thanks,
Rick

Outlook tasks. However, if using the Outlook calendar is acceptable to your
client, then you can import tasks quite easily. From PWA, download the
Outlook add-in. It's a simple install. Then use the "Import New
Assignments" button on the PWA toolbar from Outlook. I suggest you change
the import timeframe from internet options, PWA tab. Don't use the PWA
range; use a more narrow range. 

Licensing Issue

Posted: 04 May 2004 04:54 PM PDT

You have a couple of options. You do need a license for every copy of
Project installed and I may be wrong but I don't think there is a way to
install a single copy on a central shared server and open it from different
workstations (probably would violate the EULA in any case). Like Office,
you will need a license for each workstation. As you describe it, if you go
with Project Standard you'll need at least 25 copies of Project, 25
licenses, since there is no way to open and view project files without it.
Another route would be 5 licenses and send or post reports and views saved
as PDF file "electronic hard-copy" to the people who only need view access.
OR, you could go with 5 copies of Project Professional (Standard doesn't
talk to Server- that's the basic difference between the two versions) for
the PM's actually modifying the project plans, Project Server as the
distribution medium (remember it also requires Windows Server, IIS, SQL
Server, etc) and Project Web Access with enough CALs for the other 20 who
need to view the plans.

Hope this helps

hourly billed resources

Posted: 04 May 2004 04:26 PM PDT

Very good advice, and I thank you

I plan on using Project in the way you indicate - to prepare the initial budget, but in terms of tracking actual time, we have a separate application that individuals will enter their time in, and at the end of the project, we'll only bill what is agreed initially. (unless it goes out of scope of course)


----- Steve House wrote: ----

The resource assignment percentage is essentially the amount of time ove
the duration of the task that the resource actually works on it, expresse
as a percentage. If the task duration is 16 hours (2 days) and the resourc
devotes 4 man-hours of work to it over that time period, his assignmen
percentage is 4/16 or 25%. There are a variety of ways you can enter that
either mentally calculate the percentage and assign at that level or spli
the screen and specify duration and work and let Project calculate th
percentage

FYI - IMHO it is an extremely bad idea to use your billing fees as the rate
for the resources. MS Project tracks your internal costs - labour
materials, etc - to create the project deliverables, not the revenues i
might generate (if any), and the budget developed in MSP will reflect thos
internal costs to do the project's work. Consider the situation where wor
is done that is necessary to complete the project. work you have to pa
people to do, but for some reason is not billable to the client. You stil
need to account for those costs in the project budget and actuals an
Project can do this but it cannot distinguish those costs from billabl
costs. Add your overhead, profit requirements, etc, to that estimate t
come up with your bid to the client but track billable working time, bille
rates, and revenues in a separate, purpose-built, time-and-billin
accounting application. You can import and export data from Project to lin
the two but use each tool for the job it's best at

the effort in terms of hours so we can develop a budget based on our hourl

have to work on other client work at the same time, the task won't b

leveling?

Posted: 04 May 2004 07:26 AM PDT

Just guessing because you haven't mentioned the durations of the various
tasks but if as I suspect each overallocation occurs for less than full day
time period, leveling day-by-day will ignore it. That's what that setting
is - the smallest time increment that you want Project's the leveling engine
to worry about. If your recurring task is a staff meeting every Friday from
9 til 10, for example, and your regular task is widget waxing, schedules for
8 hours 8-5 and it happens to fall on Friday as well, leveling day-by-day
will not resolve the overallocation because the "problem time" is only 1
hour in length, less than a full day. Leveling hour-by-hour will do it and
if the meeting is a higher priority it will sit pat and the widgets task
schedule will change. If leveling can split tasks is on, the resource will
be shown working on the widgets 8 to 9, going to the meeting from 9 til 10,
and then going back to the widgets task for the rest of the day plus one
hour on Monday (still have to do a total of 8 hours of work on the widgets,
regardless, and leveling will never change the assignment percentage or the
total hours required for the task, controlling only when those hours occur).
If tasks can split is off, leveling hour-by-hour will cause the widgets
task to shift forward intact *2* hours, leaving the resource idle from 8 til
9, at the meeting from 9 til 10, then working on the widgets the rest of the
day plus 2 hours on Monday.

Hope this helps.

Updating an inserted project

Posted: 04 May 2004 06:34 AM PDT

Hi Diane,

Font Colors are a part of a View
Views are saved in the file they are generated in (in this case the master)
If you want to apply this view to other (inserted) projects you have to open
both and copy the view though the organizer.

Sorry, but that's how it is.
Think of this: a project can be inserted in many masters, who each may have
their formatting..
