(posting again in case it's buried too far down the list for people to
notice)
Hi Again ... is there a way to take this report further?
Right now this report creates a long list of incomplete tasks (see below to
refresh your memory) ... is there any way to have the report sort the tasks
by the headings above them. People are saying, it's great to see all the
incomplete tasks, but, we need the greater headings above those tasks so we
can quickly associate the task with where it sits in the timeline.
Hopefully I have explained this properly.
Thanks,
Greg
