Adding fields to deliverables

[Eric_H]

Ok, here's my question of the day. Our enterprise is going to use
Deliverable/Dependencies... But in doing this we would like to add additional
fields to the deliverables. We are going to use start snd finish, we would
also like to use Baseline Start and Finish. Anyone know how to add these to
the deliverable data?

Thanks as usual!!!
Eric

Hi Eric,
Alas it is only possible to add fields to the the WSS site where the
deliverables are stored. These new fields are not available in Project Pro.

ok, if I can add them to the wss site, can't I populate them through pro?
There's gotta be a way, how does PRO populate the name, start and finish
fields? it only seems logical that the fields gets the data when you add the
deliverable and publish it, we used flags to identify tasks to advertise as
deliverables and then a macro to pupolate the fields, why can't we populate
the fields through pro???

Eric_H --

When you create a Deliverable in Project Professional 2007, Microsoft
Project specifies the Start and Finish dates in the Deliverable Start and
Deliverable Finish fields. If you baseline your project after creating
Deliverables in a project, the system baselines the Deliverable Start and
Deliverable Finish fields in the Baseline Deliverable Start and Baseline
Deliverable Finish fields. Hope this helps.

Doh - thanks Dale. I should have read the question properly.
Eric, if you right click a column heading in Porject Pro, and add a new
column, you'll see all the deliverable fields that are avaialble out of the
box for you.

You guy are all awesome, the help I get from this forum is tremendous and I
can't express how much I appreciate it... Now what about modifying one or 2
of those out-of-the-box fields... can we remane it and make it populate the
data in the WSS deliverables and on the dependencie data?
