Change bar styles on historic tasks in all enterprise projects

[Lars Kragh-Hansen]

In a Project Server2007 solution, I need to add the following functionality
to certain views in all projects in the enterprise:

When the finish date on a task or milestone is exceeded by the current date,
the colour of the element should be changed from the original colour to grey.

The PMs are not entering data regarding physical completion %, so using the
CompleteThrough condition is not an option.


TIA
Lars

Lars,

Insert a Flag(1) field in a task view
Right click : Customize fields
Formula : IIF([Finish]<[Current Date],True,False)
Now : Format / Bar Styles...
Create a new symbol under the Normal symbol
Show For... Normal,Flag1

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot Gérard,


It worked like a charm.

Anything I should be aware when trying to propagate the changes enterprise
wide?

Lars,
If you are using Project Professional with the administrator permissions,
open the Enterprise global:
Tools / Enterprise Options / Open Enterprise Global
In the checkedout Enterprise Global:
Tools / Organizer : Click the View tab.
In a drop down list, select your custom view and copy it toward the Checked
out Enterprise Global
Save the entereprise global then close it.

Gérard,


Thanks again.

I do have the appropriate permissions, sounds like a rather simple process,
so now it is just to get it done.
