Master Projects

[jdonbavand]

I have created a template to use for creating individual similar
projects. I have also created a shared resource pool. Becuase the
individual projects are similar and I am using a template, a lot of the
task names remain the same across projects. The difficulty arises when
trying to join the individual projects into a master project. When
looking at the various views, tables, etc, for example resource usage,
it is impossible for me to tell which of the individual projects the
task names refer to.

Is there an easy way to identify the individual project tasks within
the different views? I'm working in Project 2003. (this is my first
posting, so I hope I'm making myself clear enough).

Simply insert the Project field in whatever view you're looking at.

Do I need to insert it into each view independently, or is there a way
to do it for several views at once - when dealing with overallocations
tend to use several views and tables.

Thanks

You have to do it for each view.

Thanks very much anyway - I guess that I can set it up in a master
project template, so that once its done once it will work longterm; I
was doing it wrong anyway, I think as I was inserting a subproject
field.
