Project 2000 Appropiate use?

Not sure why it didn't occur to me previously, but have you looked into
MindManager as a possible tool to use?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

How to link custom task fields to custom resource fields

Posted: 19 May 2004 06:42 PM PDT

Steve T --

In the Resource Usage view, right-click on any column, such as the Resource
Name column, and select "Insert Column" from the shortcut menu. Select the
Project field, set the Align Title and Align Data values to Left, and then
click the Ok button. Now you can see the project for each assignment
without having to go to a lot of work. Hope this helps.

Changing the fonts for notes.

Posted: 19 May 2004 02:22 PM PDT

Sorry, don't really know where documented explicity. This way of
applying format to fonts is sort of standard way Windows programs works.
On that control, click on the ? in the upper right corner, then
click on the "thing" you want help on, e.g. the "A" button, and you'll
see help about that "thing". This help feature, along with how font
formatting works, is standard Windows GUI functionality.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Start and End dates on resource usage differ from task dates

Posted: 19 May 2004 08:55 AM PDT

Hi Michelle,
What do you want the start and finish dates to sync
with? What you are seeing currently is the schedule for
the resources to work on the task based upon their
working and non-working time. By default, Project only
schedules resources to work on task during time defined
as working in their calendar.
For example:
I create a 5 day duration task starting today.
Before resources are assigned, the task is scheduled to
start on 5/19 and finish on 5/25 - 5 working days based
upon the project calendar (standard) and the standard
default of 1 day = 8 hours.
If I then create 3 resources:
R1 doesn't work on Monday
R2 doesn't work on Tuesday
R3 doesn't work on Wednesday
I assign all 3 resources to the task.
Each resource has 40 hours of work calculated.
R1 works:
W (5/19), Th (5/20), F( 5/21), T (5/25), W (5/26) for 8
hours each day to accomplish his/her 40 hours.
R2 works:
W (5/19), Th (5/20), F( 5/21), M (5/26), W (5/26) for 8
hours each day to accomplish his/her 40 hours.
R3 works:
Th (5/20), F( 5/21), M (5/26), T (5/25), Th (5/27) to for
8 hours each day to accomplish his/her 40 hours.
The duration of the task is now 7 days and starts 5/19
(the earliest any one resource starts) and finishes 5/27
(the last day any one resource works).
If I want the task to be worked on by all 3 resources but
completely ignoring their non-working time, I can apply
the standard calendar to the task and check "Scheduling
ignores resource calendar" in the Task Information form -
advanced tab.
The task goes back to 5 days, but all resources have just
effectively had their non-working time ignored. They all
work Wednesday 5/19 through Tuesday 5/25.

Does this help?

Grouping by project within Resource Pool

Posted: 19 May 2004 08:49 AM PDT

Hi Cheryl,
I apologize for being less than clear.
The "timescaled" portion of the view is the right hand
side (usually a yellow grid) of the task usage (or
resource usage) view which shows work for each resource
on a daily basis. You may zoom the right hand side to
show weeks, months or whatever you need. The resource
and task usage view is in 2002.
Again, sorry for not being clear. I hope this helps. If
not, let us know and we'll try again.
Regards,
Julie

Robert,
Are you wanting to send the Gantt view or the task list?
If you want to send the task list you can:
1-file save as html
2-new map
3-data to export
A-Tasks
(And)OR
B-Assignments
4-HTML Options
A-Export Header/Import Includes Header
B-Base Export on HTML Template
Choose from drop down Template desired
5-Destination HTML Table Title
Replace with Descriptive Name
6-From MS Proj Field
Select all the Fields you want to export
8-Next
9-Next
10-Save Map--I am assuming you will want to do this weekly
or monthly.
11-Name map
12-Save
13-Finish

You may want to look at this. It is an easy way to get
the info out. You can also automate this with a macro.
Feel free to contact me direct if you have questions on
the above instructions.
Cheers!
Cheryl
