Actual Work Protected in 2007

[James Fraser]

Can the Actual Work Protected (AWP) field be viewed in Project
Professional 2007 (with Project Server 2007)? The field is listed in
the on-line help, and help suggests that it can be added to views, but
I can't find any sign of the field in the pick lists.

Ideally, I would add it to the Resource Usage view to troubleshoot
some odd Actual Work values.

I could just keep using "Sync to Protected Actuals" and then "Undo"
but that seems pretty sloppy.

As a side note, the issue I'm trouble shooting at the moment is odd.
I'm finding that AWP is used in the reporting database as Actual Work,
and that's what goes into the OLAP cube. I haven't yet tracked down
whether this is related to just some projects, some resources, or
what, but thought I'd share.

(reporting database field: MSP_EpmAssignmentByDay.AssignmentActualWork
seems to match Actual Work Protected and not Actual Work.)


Thanks...

Thanks. for the response. I did find that many references say that AWP
is no longer a field in 2007. (It is still in the online help,
though.)
I should have worded my question: "Can whatever number is used for the
"Sync to Protected Actuals" function be viewed in Project Professional
along side Actual Work?" which brings up a second question: What
should we call this number?


Thanks...
