%Complete on website

[Mao]

To show that we are actually achieving anything, we would like to show the
%complete on the project website, AS BIG AS POSSIBLE! Not just as a small
column in projects, but really big f.i. at the place the logo now currently
is being displayed.
Anyone?

regards,
Mark

Mark --

There is no default method in Project Server to do this. Instead, we
recommend that you use a custom field with stoplight indicators to call
people's attention to that field. Refer to the following FAQ for an
extensive example on how to create a custom field with stoplight indicators:

Hope this helps.

Dale,

Thanks for the quick reply!
The part about your stoplights we have already. The problem is that execs
don't pay too much attention (or never finished high school for that matter).
To actually drive our point across we really want to get either the
percentage or the stoplight to light up BIG on the site. We are currently
looking at share point and frontpage to do so. That probably means retrieving
data directly from the database though and I don't think I'd like to do so...

I remember looking at the "Six Sigma accelerator" presentation from
microsoft and there was a big stoplight on the site, so it must be to get it
right.

Regards,

Have you thought about using SQL reporting services? This might make you
life a little easier. With SQL reporting services, you can actually push
reports into the executive mailboxes. Food for thought.
