Resource Group in Assignment Summary?

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 10:39 AM PDT

No problem on the firedrill, it taught me something new for future reference
for other situations, so it was good thing even if it didn't apply to this
problem.

I have just begun playing with the Analyzer, and am pretty low on the curve
for it.

I'm trying to duplicate this report basically:

1. In a normal project, Select View, Reports.
2. Select Assignments
3. Select Who Does What
4. Chose Edit
5. Choose Sort Tab
6. Sort by Group Ascending, then by Name Ascending

That report, across all the published projects in Enterprise.

It seems like it should be so easy. *sigh*

Unique ID renumbering?

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 10:19 AM PDT

If you want to go to a VBA macro to do this, then yes... but it won't be
simple
You would need to create a new project, then copy the tasks over one by one
in the order that you wanted.
Sounds easy, but when you get to maintaining predecessor/successor
relationships etc. it starts to seem like a lot more trouble than it is
worth.
You can use a spare number field if you like to set up your own numbering
scheme.

Thanks Sarah; I hadn't thought about that. It seemed to me that there were
hours assigned, but I'll check it out.

Writing values to a .mpp from Visual Basic

Posted: 02 Apr 2005 04:43 PM PST

You can also create a VB user form within Project and use that to
update values. Open Project's VB Editor and click Insert ... User
Form. Build your form using Project's objects, methods and properties.
This form is only available from within Project, however - you can't
call it externally.

How do I convert centimeters to pixels?

Posted: 02 Apr 2005 03:19 PM PST

There is no direct conversion. For a monitor, right click on your desktop
and in the properties look at the monitor settings. Lets say your monitor
is set for a screen resolution is 800x600. Divide those numbers by the
width and height of your monitor in cm and you've got the conversion for a
full screen image on your computer. But printed images are a little more
complicated - there you deal with a dots per inch or dots per cm variable
and an image of any pixel dimensions can be set to any desired resolution,
hence any desired size. Let's say I've got a picture shot with an
inexpensive digital camera that is a jpg file measuring 1024x768 pixels. In
Photoshop I can set it so the resolution is 150 dpi (60 px/cm) and it will
print as a 12 x 17cm picture or I can set it to 120 px/cm and it will print
as about 6.4 x 8.5 cm picture. FYI, the generally used resolution for high
qualitity printed images intended for display on the wall is 300 dpi
although you can go up to your full printer resolution if you wish for even
higher quality at a sacrifice of image size, ordinary snapshots usually
about 150 dpi, while pictures intended for onscreen viewing and web sites
are usually set about 60-75 dpi (30 px/cm) as most monitor setups typically
fall in that ballpark.

That being said, you really should post such questions in a group
specifically for digital imaging and the software you're using. This group
is specifically for issues regarding project managment and the MS Project
software. Glad to help out with this one though because some of my other
interests aside from project managment include video production and
photography.

What is the difference between Lag,Delay&Free Slack?

Posted: 02 Apr 2005 04:59 AM PST

hi,

For linked tasks, lag defines the "delay" between the linked tasks. Fro
example, consider painting a wall and hanging a picture frame. You can add a
lag to the "hang picture task" because it cannot start on completion of just
painting task. The paint needs to dry before you attempt to hang the picture.
It is in this sence that you will add a lag time. Lag time essentially
changes the start of the successor task by delaying it. However on the plan
you won't call it a delay because the schedule will show the gap and a later
start of the task to hang the picture. You may think of lag as a planned
delay.

A true delay on the other hand is the actual amount of time that the task is
behind schedule.

Free Slack is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying
its successor tasks. For a task without successors, free slack is the amount
of time that the task can be delayed without delaying the finish date of the
project.

Regards,

Haris.

Split a task with two blocks

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 11:01 PM PST

hi Emily,

When you split a task in MS Project it means that you intend to work on the
task in two (or multiple) intervals. You split the task when you need to
interrupt work on a task, so that part of it starts later in the schedule.
This essentially means that the finish date of the task will change.

Regards,

Haris

Work on Fixed Work tasks changes unexpectedly when assigning resou

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 09:51 PM PST

JulieS,

Thanks for the response. To answer your questions, I was working on MS
Project 2003. The work values were stored in a numeric field in MS Excel, to
which I applied a custom format to append "days" to each cell, and I changed
the MS PRoject defaults to display work as days.

Tomorrow when I get back to the computer that I was working on, I'll post
more specifics about the specific field mappings. Thanks!

How do I turn off effort driven scheduling on all tasks in my pro.

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 08:37 PM PST

Other posts have answered your question but I need to chip in - are you
really sure you want to do this? The setting of effort driven and
non-effort driven shouldn't really be considered global properties. In
fact, it can change several times for a given task over the course of
developing the plan depending on what kind of resource edits you're making
at the moment. I think of it as a switch setting that you, the PM, can use
to insure project recalculates the right thing when you add or remove people
from a task. If you have someone painting a wall and add a second painter,
effort driven is usually appropriate since 2 painters will get it done
quicker than one. OTOH, if you're sending people to attend a presentation,
non-effort driven makes more sense since a 1-hour presentation will take 1
hour regardless of whether there's 10 or 100 people in the audience.

looking at about $700. But it is a GREAT tool. :-)

Timescale above graphics does not print

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 03:01 PM PST

hi,

I am using MS Project 2002 and 2003.
For 2000 i think the tiers were referred as major and minor units.

A timescale area on a Gantt Chart displays two time unit levels:
Major Units scale
Minor Units scale

The time units, dates can be formatted to fit into your viewing needs.

To format Timescale area in MS Project 2000:

In the Gantt Chart View, choose Format, Timescale to open the Timescale
Dialog box.

In the Major and Minor scale sections, select the units of time you want.

Each set of units has a Label and an Align box. Select the desired values
and click OK.

Regards,

Haris

Microsoft Project 2002 Wizard

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 01:17 PM PST

Thanks Julie,

I think I've figured it out, maybe a little differently than you described.
I wanted to add the second calendar for the Night Shift in addition to the
regular calendar for temporary use. What I did was choose "Define a new base
calendar" and then give the calendar a new name for a new calendar template
for my night shift hours. I'm not sure if it's the "correct" way to do it,
but it works.

Commenting hork hours

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 11:11 PM PST

Steve, thank you for such a detailed answer.
My question was put in such way because our company has support projects as
well as development ones. If we receive a request from the client to fix
something and it takes just 10 minutes, MS Project will make us spend another
5 minutes creating a new task and commenting it.

Well, may be you're right, support is not a project, but does MS Project
offer anything to deal with such cases?
