OUTLINE CODING Question

Pinan T. and all others,

I confirm Paul Harris’s post: it is definetely NOT possible to hide the 1st part of the outline code or of the group name; you cannot display: for instance if you group tasks on priority level, you cannot hide "priority:"

F**K OFF

This is an oldish thread, I was wondering if there have been any developments on this issue? Service Pack perhaps (he says hopefully)?



I’ve just been "upgraded" from 2003 to 2007 but after two days of trying to make it work I’m now thinking about going back. Previously my hierarchical outline coding worked beautifully, now code Values are displayed instead of Descriptions, and the groupings don’t work at all.



I’ve replicated my hierarchical structure with individual codes which has sorted out the grouping issue, but it makes little difference because the descriptions still can’t be seen!



Next step is to make the "Value" the "Description".



Long time Primavera user now suffering with Project. Ah, the good old days....

Sorry Pinan



But since I haven’t got 2007 I can’t check.



Hopefully someone else out there can help who has 2007



Good luck

Sorry Pinan



I mis-understood and I typed without checking.



I should of also clarified that I am using MSP 2003.



Testing the situation, when I use the outline code - this does not give the name at the start (it only does that if I use Text1)



Try below -



Tools / customise / fields

Select ouline code 1

Click edit lookup table

Then if I type 1 etc in the outline code and to the right the desciption :-

1 Engineering

2 RCC Works

3 MEP works



Does this give what you want



An alternative is to name the value "1) Engineering" etc

Hi Pinan



Tools/customise/fields
