Customizing the Task view in 2007

E

Elena Osipova

Hi,

could you please advise on the following questions:

1) is it possible to highlight the changes that team member has made for his
tasks (either saved or recalculated)?

2) can I configure the timeframe for Tasks view to be Monday-Sunday, not
the current date +/- 3 as it is by default?

3) can I add to the Task view a custom read-only field?

I think all these tasks can be done only programmatically. But would you
advise
on how to perform this?

Thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi,

Highlighting changes of last edit is a built in part of Project 2007. In
earlier versions you can do it in code, but it will take a lot of effort and
the Task Before change event. Under Tools, Options you can select the week
starting day. You can't have read only fields unless you prevent edits using
a before change event, but that would prevent anyone from editing it! You A
custom field with a formula is effectively a read only field however, so you
could display a custom field with a formula reading the contents of a hidden
field. There would be nothing to stop someone inserting the custom field if
they knew about it though.

Hi Rod,

it seems that you're writing about Project Professional while my question
was about Task update view in PWA.

Last changes are not highlighted there - everything is in blue by default.
The only place where you can see the changes highlighted is in the Task
Approval part of PWA.

Tools-Options and other things you've written about can be found only in
Proj Prof.

Could you please answer about PWA? :)

Ok. I thought that developer's group relates both to development on the
client side and on the server one.
So where should I go? to Server group?

thanks,
Elena
