Graphical indicators

S

SEpp

I create formula and then graphical indicators - green, yellow, red.

Switch(Date()<=DateAdd("d";-5;[Finish]);"OK";Date()<=[Finish];"NB";Date()>[Finish];"Not OK")

But when i look from the PWA, the graphical indicators are not changing
automatically.
They are only changing when i open the project with MSProject, make some
changes and then save.

How the values are automatically calculating??

Whenever you change the project in Microsoft Project Professional, you must
publish the project using Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan to "push"
those changes to the Project Center and Project views in PWA. Hope this
helps.

That is not what i need.

I have filter, when project finish date yesterday then graphical inidicator
is red. That is all OK.
BUT
my problem is, that when i look the PWA today - smile is "Yellow" - when i
look PWA tomorrow: smile is ever yellow NOT red.
Now i open that project in MSProject and save back to database (without
changing anything) - and then i look in PWA and i see red smile.

Why date is not calculated automatically??

The calculations occur in the Project Client, in this case Web Access is
simply reading the last stored result. Therefore, you need to open your
plan, which causes a schedule recalculation, which recognizes that time has
passed since the last calculation.

Thanks,

Is there any other way to do this?
When we have a 100 project and they are not opened every day, how we can
track them in PWA with graphical indicators?

Each time you open and update any project with actuals, you should click
Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan to "push" the latest schedule changes
for the project to PWA. You will need to inform your executives that the
graphical indicators in PWA are current only through the last reporting
period. Therefore, if updates were processed last Friday, the graphical
indicators are only current through last Friday and will be updated again
this coming Friday. Hope this helps.
