Future tasks on PWA and traffic lights

[Peter L]

I've followed the recomendation below to producing the traffic lights on taks
and it works perfectly (I've created another milestone view as I only wanted
milestone reporting).

However, the only problem that I have is that I don't want future taks to
say that they are green (on time) just because they have not been updated. I
would like them to reflect the fact that they are late if the planned date
has arrived but they have not been updated in the project plan.

Any suggestions?



Hi Peter,

See the following FAQ:

http://projectserverexperts.com/Shared Documents/CreateStoplightIndicators.htm

If you have follow up questions, please post to the project server newsgroup
(microsoft.public.project.server) as this newsgroup is focused on the desktop
version of MS Project and the server newsgroup is focused on Project Server
and PWA.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

Hi Peter,

( I think I answered this in your last post ), but just to make sure that
is was you....
You will need to create a formular that looks at your Start date, your
%Complete and compare this with the current date. This will allow you to
generate a new value for the circumsdance that a task is late and has not
been updated. This value can be used to generate a different color traffic
light.
Hope this helps
