labeling milestones for a PWA view??

[mitzel]

I am trying to label a milestone to show up in views within project server
web access. I can do it in project professional but it doesn't show up in PWA.

You cannot label Milestones in PWA Gantt Chart views the way you can in
Project Professional. Hope this helps.

What version of Project Server are you using, and how are you trying to
"label" the milestone task?

Stephen,

I am using Project Server 2007 and I want to differentiate internal
milestones and external milestones. I have no problem doing that directly on
Project Professional but it doesn't appear on PWA views. Another idea I had
was to group all milestones at the top of my plan but if I could do it right
on the gantt chart that would make a lot of executives happy.

thanks for your time,

Ken

Have you considered creating a Task-level Enterprise Custom Field that
would allow you to differentiate the different types of milestone?

You could then group and filter on this within PWA.

I will consider this idea. I worked with a colleague this morning on this
issue and she has shown me how to filter on milestones within the PWA views
at the task level. This will work within each project and I like the idea of
a customized field that will help me to 'classify' each milestone. As for as
a global approach I think I'm going to try to use a Master Milestone project
linking all milestones from all subprojects for that type of view.

thanks for the ideas.
