Filtering updates done in the last week on a MPP file

Hi there,

I have the following need:

I would like to be able to check (on a weekly basis) the updates a project manager does on a mpp file, without spending significant time going with him trough the lines of the plan. I'd prefer to save that time only for the point that really need to be discussed.

Advise/help on MSP 2007

Hey Guys,

I have a few questions on scheduling of activities in MSP 2007. Any help/advise will be much appreciated.

I have an activity that if it is 50% complete, a successor will start. How do I link them or do I have to break up the predecessor activity into two activities?

Can I apply different working times to different activities/areas? eg.

Outlook like resources assignment control in MS project.

E
Evgeny Z. 👤 Member for 18 years 5 months

Dear all,

 Just wondering, is there is a function to quickly do resource search and assignment.

 I am using MS Project 2003 and the resource assignment tool works fine if you have 10 resources, but when you have a lot of resources then scrolling through all resources and clicking individual ones becomes difficult.

 I would expect to have something like you have when composing email in MS outlook, where you can quickly select people of the contact lists.

 Does it exist may be in the later versions of outlook?

ID for activity

Hi,

 

I am using ms project daily and often use unique ID for my tasks which is good.

But this way it only creates a ID number, but now I also want to add a letter.

Example: KF1000

Is there possible to create this with a type of formula in a text field?

I would also like that when I create a new task it should generate automatically next step in the chain

Example: KF1010

New task KF1020

And so on

 

Is this possible?

 

I hope you guys understand my question
