PWA 2007 - My Tasks not displaying all the tasks assigned

J

JSa

After a project is published.

We are finding large descrepancies in the number of Tasks displayed in My
Tasks to the count of new Tasks as displayed in the Home page. e.g 7 new
tasks, yet only 1 visible in My Tasks.

We've checked that the resources are the Assignment Owner for the tasks, and
that they are their own Default Assignment Owner in the Enterprise Resource
Pool.

Also, new Tasks created by resources appear in their My Tasks, but as soon
as the task is approved by the PM then the project re-published the new Task
disappears from the resources My Tasks list.

All this makes reporting Task update reporting very difficult for resources.
We are not using timesheets.

Please advise if this issue has been identified by Microsoft and if you know
when the first Service Pack is likely to be released.

regards

Justin

Is it possible that the user has the "Show Only Current Tasks" option
selected on the My Tasks page, and that these tasks are future tasks outside
of the 10-day look ahead? That would explain the disappearing tasks. To
check, ask the user to click the Settings pick list button and select the
View Options item on the pick list. Is the "Show Only Current Tasks" option
selected? If so, deselect it and then click the Apply button to see is the
mysterious tasks reappear. Let us know if this helps.

No, I do not believe there is a default method for the Project Server
administrator can either set or disable this option. Sorry.
