customizing updates tab in PWA

[yair o]

I'm having problems recognizing tasks in the updates view, since i have tasks
with the same name in my projects. therefor i'd like to add colums to the
view such as id or summary task name.
i couldn't find the view in admin - manage views.
does anyone have any suggestions?

The only way to get extra columns to show up in the Updates page in PWA is
to add them as extra published fields in each project. To do so, open each
project and do the following:

1. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
2. Select the extra fields you want from the list on the left and copy them
to the list on the right
3. Click the OK button
4. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. Click OK

You should also ask your Project Server administrator to add these
additional fields to the Timesheet view if you are using Project Server
2003. Hope this helps.
