Hide Tasks in PWA for resources

[JungleBoy]

Hi:

We usually publish tasks instead of whole project so that resources only see
the tasks they are assigned to. Some manegsr published the whole project and
now resources see bunch of tasks which ther are not working on, they can
enter time towards those tasks which they should not. How can I remove
unneccesary tasks and leave tasks which respurces need in there PWA to enter
time?

I know to remove tasks from the whole project just make the repsurce
proposed and rebupblish but in this case i just want to remove few taks while
leaving other taks in resources PWA.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

See if this helps

Insert a column, example Text1. In that column place the PWA number for
each activity (probably not summary tasks). Turn on Auto-filter and then
filter to show only the single PWA you desire. Employees would be instructed
to only take time against PWAs fro which they are authorized.

Personally, I try to avoid more than 1 PWA per task becuase it makes the
filtering more complicated.

If you have multiple resources assigned to a task and some resources must
charge to a different PWA, then the solution gets more complex. If that's
the case, post back and I can document a longer procedure.

Hi Jim:

Thanks for your reply; By PWA i mean Project Web Access, how can I take away
tasks which the employee sees in there project web access; when I publish a
project all employees sees all tasks , i want to take away the tasks from
employees project web access which theye do not require to see.

Thanks
