Alright, let me see if I can spell this out.
Bottom Line: Is there anyway to show the same task over multiple line
in different sections and have the same task show % complete/cost
either over the whole project or by each section?
Additional Explanation:
We are building a pipeline and putting it in the ground. We are goin
from 0+00 (Or 000 feet) to say 100+00 (or 10,000 feet). The client i
wanting to break down the project into smaller 2500' sections. (Going t
use a custom field - number - and then numbering each task between tha
range of sections a 1-4). Since the job is from 0-10,000 feet I will b
doing the same tasks 4x ea.
Let's take one of the tasks, Grading. I'll be taking grading from star
(0) to finish (10,000 feet) yet there will be 4 specific sections i
this project so that we can break it down to these smaller sections. M
plan is to have 4 tasks names denoting Sections 1-4 and then just inden
for each of the 2500' sections with their tasks below.
Hopefully you all are still with me. If I'm going to have a task liste
4x is there anyway to (I hate to use the term link...but) link the task
to share the same information. IE % complete/cost. So say Gradin
(Section 1), Grading (Section 2), etc will share a total % complete a
well as % complete or cost per section?
Let's say we are jumping around on the project. We started Section
Grading and we were 10% done. Then we jumped to Section 1 and Grade
20%...is there anyway to show 30% completion on that group of tasks...a
if they were one task.
What I'm trying to avoid is having to assign 25% costs to each tas
Grading (Section 1), Grading (Section 2), Grading (Section 3), Etc
Because the footage is much much different in my project and doesn'
work out evenly...and thus generating an invoice would be a nightmare i
we go off the schedule.
I hope that makes sense to someone...lol.
Thank you all,
Ca
