Change the tracking method in project 2007

[Sanya]

Hello,
I'm new user in Project Server 2007. Until a month we were working in
Project Server 2003 environment. In Project Pro 2003 (as a project
manager) I could change tracking method from Percent of work complete
to Hours of work done per period - Tools, Customize, Published Fields.
Now I cannot find this in Project 2007. I am administrator for my
company for Project Server, so I've checked on PWA Server Settings,
Server Settings, Time and Task Management, Task Settings and Display,
that the "Force project managers to use the progress reporting method
specified above for all projects" isn't checked.
Could this be done?
I really tried hard to find this answer on Google groups, but I didn't
succeed.
Many thanks for your answer!

Hi,
Yes you can select any one of the three methods in "Task Settings and
Disply" and select the check box "Force project managers to use the progress
reporting method specified above for all projects."

Thanks,
Arun

Arun, thank you very much for your answer!
I probably wasn't clear enough, so let me rephrase my question: I want
to keep tracking method "Percent of work complete" on server side, and
allow project managers to change tracking method for just one project
in Project Professional 2007. In Project 2003 that could be done with
Tools, Customize, Published Fields but in Pro 2007, there is no
Published fields option anymore.
Any suggestions?

In Project Professional 2007, each PM can click Tools - Options -
Collaborate and then change the tracking method for each project
individually. After doing so, the PM should click File - Publish. Hope
this helps.
