critical task slack

[Jennpenn07]

Hi, we're using project server 2003 sp2a and we have the need to set the
critical task slack to 10d as the default for every project in project
server. Therefore when PMs open thier projects or new projects, the default
slack should be already set to 10days.

I tried to make this happen by opening the Enterprise Global template then
setting it there. however, my change does not save and it does not effect any
other projects. each time i go back into Enterprise Global Template, the
setting is set to 1d.

Does anyone know if what i am asking is doable?

No, this is not do-able by setting the value in the Enterprise Global file.
Keep in mind that the Enterprise Global file is your organization's
"library" of custom enterprise objects such as Fields, Views, Tables,
Filters, Groups, Reports, etc. It is NOT the location from which you can
specify Tools - Options settings for everyone universally. Every PM in your
organization needs to set these options individually by opening each of
their current enterprise projects and setting the option using Tools -
Options. They should also click the Set as Default button to set this as
the default option setting for all future blank projects. Beyond this, you
should also open and edit every enterprise project template in your system
and then specify this Option setting. Hope this helps.

You could set this in a project template and then have the PMs initiate all
project from that template.
