creating very important milestones

[Elena Osipova]

Dear all,

I need your help to solve this task (I'm not a programmer but suspect that
there's no other solution for this problem):
in the projects there will be among all very important milestones that will
distinct from other milestones in these features 1) should be red, 2) any
change in date shoulf turn on a special indicator from green to red light, 3)
any change in date (caused by any reason - replanning, delay of other tasks,
etc.) will result in email notification to project portfolio manager (better
to be sent without participation of the project manager, may be through
notification on the project server?).

I wll greatly appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Elena.

Hello Elena,
Points 1 and 2 can be solved easily in an interactive way. Point 3 needs
some programming.
Point 1 : use the Marked field to mark these milestones to "Yes".
In the Bar Styles dialog, create a red symbol for marked milestones (under
the casual symbole, such as it will cover the casual one)
Point 2 : insert a Flag field such as Flag1
Tools / Customize Fields / Rename it as you want
Formula : IIf([Baseline Start]<[Start];True;False)
Graphical Indicators : Equals to... Yes.... Red traffic light

Hope this helps,
