Identify critical tasks on My Tasks page PWA 2007

[Gary Zag]

I would like to display what tasks are marked as critical on the My Tasks
page. I don't see this default field as one that I can select in the edit My
Assignments view. Is there a way to add this field? Do I need to create a
custom field with a formula to map over the default critical field? Seems
odd to to be able to include all the default fileds when configuring a view.

Create a new CF Task/Text with roll down to assignment, using the forumla
[Critical], then maybe some graphical indicators Red circle for critical -1,
and green for none critical 0.

Add this CF to the resource assignments summary view.

Paul,

I created the custom field as you said. When I go to add the field to a My
Work view it is not in the list. It is in the list for a project or resource
assignment view. I selected the roll down to assignment checkbox. We have
applied the SP1 and the Infrastucture update.

That's a new one for me. It appears that you can't add a CF with a formula
to any of the My Work views. I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug.

Paul,

That is the same thing that I am seeing. Does not list custom fields that
are a formula. This is an issue because I wanted to create a custom My Work
view for my resource managers that show the late start and finish and free
and total slack fields. These standard fileld are not selectable so I was
going to map them to custom fields so I could add them to the view. The
resource managers use the My Work view to reassign work assign to generic
resources that the are the assignment owner for to real resources. They need
to get more info when they are doing this to make it easy to see what tasks
have slack to level the load.
