Difference in Task and Project Information

E

Earl Forrence

Hi everyone,

I have a manager who's new as a user to Enterprise.
His people are using the add task feature within
Enterprise Edition ... and that seems to be working
correctly for the most part.

That is, the new tasks appear to be correctly inserted
into the project plan -- when looked at with either a the
Projects View, or when opened with MS-Project.

However, even after the updated plan has been Baselined
and Published (either with New & Changed or All), the list
of tasks displayed in the Tasks view is not updated.

Please tell me, are we missing a crucial step here?

Thanks ... Earl

Hi Earl,

The only time I have seen something similar is when in the
Tasks View, the resource has the Current Tasks view
selected instead of All Tasks. Have the resource select
All Tasks in the Tasks View, and see if this resolves the
problem.

Driver - In the Admin screen, Customize MS Web Access
Activity, there is a setting that determines the tasks
that are shown that start up to ??? days from the current
date. Depending on that setting and the start date for the
new tasks that were added, this may be the driver as to
why those tasks are not showing up.

Hope this helps.
Roxanne

Thanks Roxanne,

1. I have insured that "All Tasks" was selected -- good
hint.
2. Have now changed the for ??? days thing to 99. It
was at 21.

Nevertheless, after doing so, I was still in the same
situaion.

In the end, I had the manager do a save of his project
with another name; then re-baseline and re-publish all.
After I blew-away the old plan, all seems to be working
correctly now.

But thanks for your input. It was indeed helpful... Earl
