Display stoplight in Project Center

mba1976,

These "stoplights" are called Graphical Indicators in Project Server and
they usually use formulas to create them where you create a outline code.
Here is an example based on your statement:
Switch(Len(CStr([Baseline Finish]))<3,"No baseline",ProjDateDiff([Baseline
Finish],[Finish])/480>=5,"Late by more than 5 days",ProjDateDiff([Baseline
Finish],[Finish])/480>0,"Late",True,"On schedule")


For additional information on Graphical Indicators please see:

Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 Application Configuration Guide Page 84

Have a great day!

Scott,

Thank you very much for the information.
Do you have any configuration guide for project Server 2007?

I have been searching around and I could not find it any where.


Thanks again,

Hello All,

Can anyone show me show to display the stoplight in Project Center?

Example:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/projectserver/HA102032191033.aspx#3

I like to have a Schedule field and if a project is 2 weeks late, displays
Red light,
1 week late display Yello light. On time displays Green light.

Can someone give me a hint where should I start?


Thank you,

mba1976 --

A Project Server administrator's guide is not available yet from Microsoft
or anyone else. This is probably because everyone is still in the process
of writing one. We are writing our "Administering an Enterprise PMO using
Microsoft Office Project 2007" even as we speak. We don't have a release
date yet. Hope this helps.
