PS 2007: How to populate the Status Manager Field

L

Lisa

From what I understand, the Status Manager field is to be used during the
process to take or transfer ownership of an assignment or project from one
Project Manager to another. However, the only two names that appear in the
status manager field are my name and the name of one of the other
Administrators who did most of the configuration on this install of PS2007.
How does this field get populated as it isn't listed in the Custom Fields in
PWA.

If this isn't the new process for taking ownership, does anyone know what
is?

Thanks,
Lisa

The Status Manager field value determines who receives task updates for a
project in PWA. When you publish a project the first time, the system sets
you as the Status Manager for all tasks. If another manager opens the
project and examines Status Manager field, he/she will see his/her own name
plus your name. He/she can take over ownership of any or all tasks by
selecting his/her own name in the Status Manager field for the selected
tasks. And yes, this is the new process for taking over ownership of a
project from another manager. Hope this helps.
