Black "Progress" line in the Project Center doesn't advance

[texasroy]

I lead a PMO using Server 2003 and time reporting via PWA from the project
resources. We teach the PMs to take the updates from the team members and do
the "Update" function (in PWA) and then to set the status date and do the
"Update Project" function in Project Pro. After doing this, we have them
"Publish", "New and Changed Assignments".

The problem is that the black line that shows project completion in the
Project Center will not advance unless the PMs "Publish" "All Information"
rather than just New and Changed Assignments. Shouldn't it advance under any
Publish scenario?

texasroy --

You are misunderstanding how publishing works in Project Server. When you
click Collaborate - Publish - New and Changed Assignments, doing so "pushes"
the assignment information to each uers's timesheet in PWA and to the View
resource assignments section of PWA. You must use Collaborate - Publish -
Project Plan to "push" the data to the Project Center and detailed Project
views in PWA. You can use Collaborate - Publish - All Information to "push"
the data to all relevant areas of PWA. Hope this helps.
