| 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. -Bill -- Bill Raymond Microsoft Project MVP projectnation at hotmail dot com "Rob Schneider" <net.net> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |

Please give me an example and then perhaps we can help you. -- Dale A.

| 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. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Rocky" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0c5401c432d1$f40b4730$gbl... |

| 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 Collaborate - in PWA? message blank. to |

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. |
| 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.

| 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 "Shane" <microsoft.com> wrote in messag news:com.. need the effort in terms of hours so we can develop a budget based on our hourl fees. For example, we know a task could take 4 hours to do, but because w have to work on other client work at the same time, the task won't b complete for 2 calendar days |
| Restricting resource assignments based on max availability Posted: 04 May 2004 12:51 PM PDT Thanks very much Jan follows: you assign the Resource Names or by Information) so don't I would go to and you will see bericht textbooks. I project. and to |
| 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. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Ben" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:832e01c431ec$f56d7250$gbl... |
