How to I manage Carers and Patients (clients)? Project 2003?

Posted: 19 Nov 2004 03:47 AM PST

Hi Adrian,

Believe it or not, because I use resource leveling and the constraint is
"only one doctor per night" the night duty itself is the resource; the "fact
that a doctor has a night duty to do" is the task.
But mind you, it only works smoothly using abit of VBA behind (for
instance, once a doctor has a duty planned, his priority to perform the next
one decreases etc.

Report Exporting

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 02:08 PM PST

Hi Sarah

i think what Jack was saying is that there is no option to export an actual
"report" (view/reports) to excel - as you can in Access (nice, handy little
toolbar icon concept).

Cheers

Custom Field Follow-up

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 11:08 AM PST

Hi,

Not that I have a solution ready, but assignment do have custom fields like
Text1 etc.; they just can't be "customised" in terms of formula, graphical
indicator, etc.

predecessors

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 06:59 AM PST


GR,
A suggestion. Use a spell checker and proofread before you post and,
please don't shout.

If the external predecessor is added to a task that also has an internal
predecessor, depending on how the macro code is structured, you will
need to concatenate the predecessor text strings together. This is done
most conveniently as follows:

[existing predecessor string] & [added predecessor string]

Hope this helps.

MS Project 2002 - Hammock Tasks

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 06:19 AM PST

Hi Jim

it works when i test it under any conceivable situation i throw at it ... so
have you tried the good old "delete the task, close project, open project &
try again" method of trouble shooting :)

anything else 'odd' about the client's sitatuation (ie no service packs,
scheduling from a finish date - not that this seemed to make a difference
when i tested it).

Cheers

Calculating end of project profit margin

Posted: 17 Nov 2004 09:34 PM PST

Are you tracking a group of people as a single resource - 5 engineers with a
salary range of 20k to 40k averaging 30k being listed "Engineers"
"Avail=500%" "Rate=30k" or are you listing each engineer as a single
individual, max avail of 100% and their true loaded labour cost as the rate?
If you list all your resources as individual people rather than dealing with
groups the inaccuracies you ascribe to using avaerage salaries goes away.
If we have task "Fidget Widgets" and assign individual resources Bill & Joe
to do it, Project's cost field will accumulate the true loaded salary costs
for Bill and Joe and so reflect our true internal costs. If we take Bill
off and send Fred instead, Project would use Fred's rate, not Bill's, in
calculating the costs.

I'm confused why you would bill on a per task basis. Billing for the
complete project makes sense but it's not like the client has an option
whether tasks are done or not, that's governed by the project scope and the
requirements of the deliverables - the tasks to be done being driven by the
work required to produce the deliverables. If a task is dropped, that
deliverable isn't done and the project scope changes, hence a new bid to the
client for the work. But he's still paying for the whole deal, not
individual tasks except in the aggreate. If I'm the client having a house
built by a contractor I don't pay separately for the east, west, north, and
south walls of the foundation but it's very likely that they are listed as
separate tasks in the plan - instead I pay for the foundation, walls, roof,
whole completed package in one total lump sum. Maybe I'm naive, but it
seems like trying to track margins on a per task basis would create a sea of
numbers that don't actually do much to assist the decision-making processes
of managing either the project or the firm - they might look impressive but
it seems to me that such micromanaging would obscure more than enlighten.
I'm still not going to assign someone to a task who is not competant to do
it just because he's the cheaper resource <grin>.

How do I get project to open in XP?

Posted: 17 Nov 2004 06:19 PM PST

Hi Luke

this seems odd as it runs fine for me - now, doesn't that help:)

maybe uninstall and a reinstall (do a custom install choose everything
rather than a "typical" install).

Assigning regular calendar days/times for projects

Posted: 17 Nov 2004 09:37 AM PST

Hi Gill,

As each month is different, the only way to define a month is as you've
found :( Better to stick to eweeks if you must have such exactness - after
all 9 months is equally approximate!

Jason,
As an alternative to Steve's suggestion, depending on how the view is
structured it may be possible to setup the print so that each of the
view elements you list will print side-by-side (i.e. separate sheets).
To get the Notes field to appear on it's own sheet, go to File/Page
Setup/View tab and check the "print notes" option. Getting the Task
Names and Gantt display to print on separate side-by-side sheets may
take some manipulation of view column widths, but it should be possible
(although I admit I haven't tried it).

Hope this helps.
John
