Changing Resources

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 01:18 PM PDT

RMs can "build the team" of resources for a project in PWA (Project Center).
Rod's advice would be the best approach to assigning tasks in PWA.

Requiring multiple resources to work on a task

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 12:46 PM PDT

It's possible, but why would you want to, you just exploded your number
of tasks to track by a factor of 2 or 3 and made the effort of tracking
the project that much more labor intensive. The planning tool should
work for me, not the other way round.

Recurring tasks and resource usage

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 11:26 AM PDT

The problem was that I was using creating the recurring task in an
administrative project. When I created it in a regular project, everything
worked as expected.

In our environment we have more projects than staff. The status meeting
covers multiple projects. Seems to me that the administrative project would
be a logical place to store this information, but I can work with it the way
it is.

Thanks,
Brian

Milestone icon

And finally if you really prefer an Icon, customize a Flag field to be
=[Milestone] and give it the graphical indicator you want of the value is
Yes.

Best practice for on-going task

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 06:42 AM PDT

Thanks for your advice! We are using Project Server, so I will need to test
this out.

Can you lock a task?

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 06:05 AM PDT

..... But the PM or anybody opening the .mpp file still has access to every
task row.

Is there just one UNDO with Project?

Project does not use Access as a database unless it is specifically
made to do so. It uses a proprietary format (.mpp). I don't know if
this is part of the problem preventing multiple undos.

Odd effect of Project Start Date

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 05:39 AM PDT

Apologies for posting this thread - I've just found out from previous posts
(now my PC is working again) that the Adjust Dates macro does something
different (and additional to) changing the Project Start Date via
Project/Project Information.

Trying Schedule location or vacation for staff

Posted: 19 Oct 2005 08:01 PM PDT

I suggest making a "Summay" task for each person. Set all your resource
calanders to 24 hours and let the task calander dictate when they can work or
go on vacation. For your task you may need to set up some calanders. I would
also use one of the text fields as a code field for each person. You can then
filter to a specific person.
Only one person at a time can be in a project with MS Projects. Primavera
allows multiple users at once. The cost is the problem.

Greg,
I think we still aren't communicating because all I can give is the
simple answer.

When a master is created, the standard method is to use Insert/Project.
That effectively creates a dynamic master file which if fully
"expanded", will show all tasks in each subproject that was inserted -
no linking is necessary.

Your initial post mentioned "master file". I assumed it was built as
described above.

Hope this helps.

Hammock tasks start and finish dates are set inconsistantly

Posted: 19 Oct 2005 02:01 PM PDT

Thanks for the prompt response Chris, but the steps you articulated are
exaCTLY what I had followed which resulted in the 2 different finish dates as
indicated.

However I was able to syncronize the finish dates by closing the plan and
re-opening it, which refreshes the links so the dates are the same.

Is there a way to Paste Special Link into multiple tasks? I want to show
all of the detailed tasks that have to be done between the 2 milestones but
don't want to go thru getting estimates and dependencies for each task and
adjusting them every time a milestone date changes.

Thanks!...M

Sounds like they're much the same. I misunderstood your description of
bottom-up. I agree with all that you say above. Basically, once the
achivements are set, how the project is done needs to be negotiated by
all parties directly involved.

Need help producing project plan as a list to display on a web pag

Posted: 19 Oct 2005 10:43 AM PDT

Thanks for your reply.

However, I didn't receive a response in time yesterday so I inserted a text
column and flagged those fields.

Exported to Excel and then deleted them. Everything works alright for me now.

A lot of extra steps and time consuming, but it's done.

Thanks again.
