Updates Page - Summary Tasks (Project Web Access)

[Justin Fults]

I had a quick question regarding the "View task changes
submitted by resources", which appears if you click on
the "Updates" link in the header. I am looking at
the "Timesheet View" of this page and have difficulty
figuring out what "Summary" tasks newly created "Tasks"
belong to. In the "View Options" section I have
the "Show:" option set to "All Outline Levels", but
unlike most other views, there is no "Show Summary Tasks"
option to select. How can I modify this view to show
summary tasks for Resource updated tasks and new tasks
(requested by Resources)?

Thanks,
Justin

Justin --

Bad news. I am not aware of any way to have summary tasks displayed on the
Updates page. The best that PWA offers right now is the default grouping on
this page, which is to Group by Project, Then by Task Change Type, and Then
by From.

Hi Justin,

It looks like there no correct solution at this time.

To bypass the problem temporarily, there is 2 alternatives:
. rename the task with a prefix of the summary task
.or insert the name of the Summary task in a note on the task

I hope the next version of WEB ACCESS will correct this problem... Romeo.
