Modify %Work Complete on Timesheet display a drop-down

[Memory Card]

Is there a way to modify the %Work Complete field on the Task Timesheet to
display a drop-down, where the team member could pick 0,25,50,75,100%?

Hi ,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

You can do this with a customised toolbar and macros. Start with
View/Tables/Work or create a view showing the %Work Complete column.
You'll then need to record a macro putting (say) 25 in that column. You can
then edit and rename the macro for each of 0, 50,75,100%, ending up with 5
macros. You can then create a new toolbar and drag these macros onto it.
Then you could change the tool buttons to reflect the %ages. Full details
on this can be found in my series on Microsoft Project in the TechTrax
ezine, particularly #16 on Macros, at this site: http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc

Thanks.)

Mike,

This works great in MS Project Pro, but can this be done to reflect in PWA,
where users can update their individual tasks this way from the View my Tasks
screen?

PMguy,

Sorry, this customization is not possible in PWA Timesheet ;-(

Not a good idea anyway, as resources naturally tend to over-estimate their
progress. Far better to get the hours they've spent and their expected
hours to complete.
