Display a Specific Task's Start Date in a Project Center View?

My organization utilizes 3 main schedule templates for all work done in
Project Center. These schedules all contain a few main tasks that are common
throughout all templates. I'd like to create a custom Project Center view
that displays that Start Date of a task called "FAT" (factory acceptance
testing - signifies the conclusion of engineering). I believe this is
possible using a Formula in the view creation page but I'm not aware of how
to do this. If anyone has advice or guidance I'd appreciate it.

Jason,

Project Center view typically refers to the summary line view for projects
and I believe what you are referring to is the Project Details view which
displays task information.

You will need to create a project details view that has a filter applied
that will only show the 3 tasks you wish to display. The filter will need
to look at a task level field whether it is an out-of-the-box field like
task name or a custom field which you create that will determine whether a
task is to be displayed. My guess is that you will need a custom field to
accomplish this.

Let us know exactly how you plan on determining which tasks to display in
this Project Details view and we can help with the custom field definition.
