Customizing Report - Upcoming Tasks

[jdee]

is there a way to show the Top level name of a Task Grouping in the "Tasks
Starting Soon" report? For example, let's say I have numerous tasks with the
same name 'Distribute agenda' but the task belongs to different meetings. I'd
rather not name each task 'Distribute agenda (second meeting)'

Thanks

Not that I can recall. Maybe someone else has a suggestion. I stopped
doing same name tasks long ago for this very reason. It's not that big
a deal to somehow id each same name task as you enter them, unless
they're in a sequence that's been copied and pasted multiple times. In
that instance, the best thing is to write a macro that puts the Summary
line name with the task name so you can tell them apart.
Hope this helps in your world.

Hi jdee,

Edit the report (select the Tasks Starting Soon report in the Current
Activity Reports dialog box and click Edit....).
On the Definition tab of the Task Report dialog box, check "Show summary
tasks".

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
