Successor and Predecessor fields not appearing in Custom View

G

Gwen

I created a Project view

Table : Task

Displayed Fields:
ID
Task Name
% Complete
Duration
Start
Finish
Predecessors
Successors
Resources Names

From Project view
All the fields appear in the order selected except
for the Predecessors and Successors fields.

Why are they not appearing in this view if the fields
can be selected?

I know they can be viewed in the Task View, but I wante
them visible on the Project View!

Thanks,

Predecessors and Successors are task-level attributes and don't exist at the
project level.

Do you know if this is added in the Project 2003 version?

Teams want a view where they can see all the dependencies
in a single view, not at a task level where only the
resources can see them.

What other options do you recommend where I can show the
dependencies in a project?

This is a key requirement in our projects.

Also , Why are the fields listed in the available fields
list if you cannot add them in the Project view?

There should be a view we can use.

The best way to do this is to create a master project. If you enable these
to be saved to your server, make sure that you don't allow publishing. You
might consider creating these on the fly and not saving to the server as
adding them to the mix might have some consequences to your custom Outline
code structures and therefore possibly impact your views.

How can we share this "Master project: so that each
resouce can see the Predessors and Succcesors over the
entire project.

They can only see a small piece of where their tasks
have predessors in the task view.

Does anyone have a better solution?
