Inserting tasks into Status Reports

[Charles]

The EPM status report capability supports the ability to import information
directly into Status Reports from the project. Unfortunately, it permits the
ability to link ONLY YOU OWN TIMESHEET. As a PM, is there a way to import
everybody's tasks, not just your own?

Thank you,

Not unless you were assigned at 0% on all tasks within the project schedule.

Thanks Kevin,

You mean if the PM has 0% assignement, but team members are assigned
different tasks in the schedule, the PM could insert the entire schedule?

I find this to be less intuitive since the PM is responsible of the project,
thus the need to report on all the tasks.

Charles.

Status Reports are designed for individual team members to report status to
the project manager. By them inserting tasks you then have the capability to
combine their reports into a single report you can then forward on. If you
train your team members, you should havethe information you want without
having to be assigned to all tasks at 0% which is really not advised.

Kevin,

That makes a lot of sense!

Appreciation,

Charles.
