Tracking Option§

[Ryan]

In Thick Client, in Project Pro 2003, there is a a "check progress of the
project" view available through the tracking feature. In this view the
status indicator column shows a different symbol for completed tasks, tasks
on schedule, and late tasks. How can I facilitate the same view through Web
Access?

You can't. That type of functionality is only available through the use of
custom enterprise fields containing formulas and which display graphical
indicators. Refer to the following FAQ for an example:

Hope this helps.

Yes! That is for the change of DATES, or the slippage in dates and durations
etc. I want to track the change in work effort, and matching Work % with what
its supposed to be at. thoughts?

by the way, you guys have incredible patience for handling people like me, i
do recognize and appreciate that

You can address the first need by using a custom field that references the
Work Variance field, and then using graphical indicators to show the degree
that Work is over your Baseline Work budget for the project. The second
need can only be addressed by using Earned Value Analysis.

Yes, patience is how I became an MVP, along with giving lots of correct
answers (and an occasional wrong answer as well)!
