Late Start/Finsh & Free Slack for Resource Assignments in PWA 2007

[Gary Zag]

Is there a way to see the Late Start, Late Finish and Free Slack for tasks
assignments by Resource? The only view that I can find these finds listed
for are Project Views. I would like to see these fields on the My Tasks page
or the Resource Assignments page.

I am a resource manager that assigns tasks. We have generic resources that
I am the default owner for. These assignments show up in My Tasks page and I
reassign them to real resources. This all works great. The problem is when
I need to level the load I can not use the My Tasks page to identify tasks
that have slack. It wold be nice I could see this on the MY Tasks page so I
don't have to navigate to other pages..

Gary --

These fields are not available in either the My Tasks page for the Resource
Assignments page in PWA, and I don't believe there is any way to force them
to appear. Instead, if I needed this information as much as you do, I would
create a custom task View to analyze Total Slack by resource. I would make
a copy of the task Schedule table and include any other relevant columns I
want to see, such as Duration, for example. Then I would create a custom
Group that groups by Resource Names and then by Total Slack. Then I would
create a new task View using the Task Sheet screen, the new custom Table,
the All Tasks filter, and the new custom Group. This would allow you to
easily see which resources have tasks with Total Slack greater than 0d.
Just a thought. Hope this helps.
