    - Read only Gantt View in PWA for all team members Very new to Project but am having trouble figuring out the best way to do this. I would like to allow everyone involved in a project to have read access to the projects gantt view. As I understand it now, the individuals can see their tasks but not everyone elses. Can I add this to the projects workspace? - I would also like to show a read only calender view here that anyone could look at to see what is going on throughout the building. People here don't realize how their work affects others and while they can see the task immediately before and after theirs they just don't realize how everything is affected. As I said, I am new to Project and just in a testing phase, but would appreciate any suggestions. Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138131

    - satisfaction First, metric or indicator must measure. It should me math formula, equation, function. It must look like X =3D F(A1, A2, =85 An). Where A1-n is the number of indicators you must look at and the F is the function which tells what to do with indicators. X is the performance value. What is bad indicator? It is when you tell, let's measure customers' satisfaction in bank loan niche. You don't tell about what are you going to measure, how you are going to measure this, it's not a metric, but it's a good mission statement that tells about nothing. www.pengxq,cn Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138120

I need to find only those tasks that have the sub-string "Execute Assembly Test" (approx 107 tasks) and then determine, based on column B (expected finish), the date that we can expect 90% of those tasks to be complete.

    - Best way to enter part time resources Dear all, I have a question, what the best way to enter part time resources is. Situation: I have one resource who is working 80% and we can be sure he never works on wednesdays. He has two major duties which are split 50% and 30%. I considered the following: a) I enter him as 100% and use the resource calendar to mark the wednesdays as non-working time b) I enter him as 80% (feels more right), leave the resource calendar untouched c) I enter him as 80% and mark his absence on wednesdays in the resource calendar. So I entered one of his 50% tasks (10 dayw working time, fixed work) under setup a: It calculates 20 days duration Setup b: It also calculates 20 days duration but shifts the end date a week to the front Setup c: It calculates 20 days duration and puts the delivery date on the same date as a. So what is the right way doing it? Regards Kay Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138118

    - Task Custom Fields: track the physical usage insted of the % complete Hi, I have to set up a custom field that represents a distance. So in the tasks I=92d like to track the distances daily... How can I do this? If I look at the =93Task Usage=94, I see the work, the actual work.... I=92d= like to see also the meters and the actual meters (for every day, in a calendar view...) Is it possible???? Let me do an example: - Task: Cover 100 meters - Distance: 100 - Duration: 10 days - Meter per Day: 10 For these information I will use 3 custom fields (number) How and where can I track the meters covered per day? I=91d like to view on a screen similar to the =93task usage=94, the information on the meter that I have to cover every day and the real covering daily... on a calendar, like a timesheet, but not with the time, with the physical distance.... Can someone suggest me something? Thanks so much to everybody Vit Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138114

    - Start vs. Actual Start??? I'm a relatively new user to MS Project 2007, but have created a nice Gantt Chart for my project complete with Start and Finish dates. I've inserted Actual Start and Actual Finish columns into my chart, but whenever I try to updated the Actual Start date for a task, it changes the Start date. For example, if my Start date for a task was April 1, but I enter the Actual Start date as April 2, my Start date changes to April 2. Note: The Start date is actually more like a scheduled start date, and it seems like tracking my progress would be difficult if the Start and Actual Start dates match up. What am I missing? Thanks.

    - Help with understanding leveling... MS Project 2003 Hi I am sure there is something very simple here but I am unable to find it. In essence I have created a project with a number of start-finish tasks and these are allocated to resources (people). I have allocated (on the resource details window) 20% and 25% availability as these guiys have to work on other things concurrently. I didn't add any date constraints such as "must complete before" and thought that MS project would simply extend the duration of tasks to enable the required resources to work on them. But oh no - instead the tool seems intent on overcommitting all the resources by 300 even 400%. So I must be doing something fundamentally wrong - why won't project just extend the duration of the tasks? I entered my estimates for the work to be done in the "Work" column. Should this actually be entered into the "Duration" column? Appreciate any tips. -- jeremy Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138074

    - Remove filter from "Build Team Dialog" and Ressource Overallocatio Hey people, I really didn't know where to post this since the Build Team from Enterprise-Dialog exists only in connection with Project Server, but anyway. I've been asked whether it's possible to add filters in the Build Team-Dialog (which is naturally possible as it turned out) and to remove unused ones. Is this possible or not to be done using standard methods? Second question relates to ressource assignments and possible overallocations. Is there a way to let Project calculate the minimum amount of days required for a certain amount of work manhours having assigned a specific resource (might be generic) with set units? So I want to evaluate the duration required for a certain task, given work manhours and a resource units. This can be done manually, but can it be done automatically (which would make things a lot easier)? Sounds complicated, but I'm confident you'll get it. I'm looking forward to your answers. Much appreciated. Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138049

Does anyone actually have a macro, add-in, application or know of a website that has one that does this?

    - New to MS Project Hi All, I am just after a little advice re MS Project. In fact I have 2 issues. The first is that I would like to add a custom cost field on the resource sheet. I currently have a standard rate field, and an overtime field. I have inserted a column and selected various different one, but to no avail. What I want to do is use the standard rate as the resource cost to my company, and have a second rate at which I charge a customer. For example in a consultancy role, my internal cost may be £100, but I may sell a days consultancy at £400. Another issue I am currently having is that I have recently attended a training course (I was obvioulsy not aware of these issue prior to the course!!!), and one of the instruction step by step sheets ask me to open a new project, click the Project Guide toolbar, and click the tasks button (which I CAN find), but it then asks me to select 'Define the Project' link, which I do not have avaialble. I am wondering whether I have some defualt settings set incorrectly. The next step it asks for is to select a date, then at the bottom of the 'SAVE YOUR PROJECT SIDE PANE' click SAVE AND GOTO STEP 2. Again, I do not see this Save side pane, and have done several help searches to no avail! -- jasondimass ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jasondimass's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=49355 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=968613 http://forums.techarena.in Tag: Saving to Project Server Tag: 138044

    - Earned Schedule I'm trying to identify metrics that the PMO can use to control this project and I'm having difficulty because the planning team decided to not input cost or resource information. They have simply assigned responsibilities via a text field and manage the cost aspect somewhere else. The PMO is looking for "EVM" type metrics but without cost and resource info I'm sort of at a loss. Is it possible and or does it even make sense to jimmy the EVM metrics to use only duration? I.e. Instead of using BCWP - BCWS, use # of Activities completed - # of Activities scheduled to be completed.... Another example I considered was a modified Earned Schedule (*we started the project in Feb): (# of months complete) + {[(# of tasks completed)-(# of tasks scheduled through April)] / [(# of tasks scheduled in May)-((# of tasks scheduled through April)]} Using the data from the above formula, I would then be able to arrive at SPI(t) & SV(t) QUESTION - Does this make any sense (considering the limited amount of data I have to work with) or am I crazy?

As you stated rightly and as it looks to me right now, project is not ideally suited to manage resources. When you run bigger projects etc it might be fine but with the juggling here it is some kind of hazzle when I only want to see my resource utilitsation. Often my guys are not working in projects but do single tasks. Can you recommend a good resource management tool? Ideally it could read the resource usage from MSP and then I can add the other tasks.

If you have an account set up correctly and are connected to the project
server then you can just save and it will save to project server. No need to
do a save as or any special mechanism.

Just make sure you are connected.
