Leave Reports

[Pratta]

Hi All
Is it possible to get a report on leave recorded in
Project (am using 2002 std)?
I record all leave for a resource pool in Tools, CWT; and
have set up a copy of the Std to use as the base calendar.
The scheduling is working well, but I can't produce a
report or view for team leaders that shows eg that Res 1
is on leave from 6th Sept to 10th Sept. Something they can
stick on their wall, and look at.
The Calendar View shows tasks, and Resource Calendar non-
working days, but nothing at the resource level.

Thanks

Maybe there is way to show the resource's calendar in the Calendar view,
but I don't off the top of my head know how. You can show leave time as
"tasks" on the plan, e.g. "Pratta on Leave", "Harold on Leave", etc.
Then apply a filter on the Calendar view to be "name contains leave" to
show only tasks with the word "leave" in it.

That being said, I wouldn't normally put tasks in a project plan that
didn't produce deliverables for the project; and therefore would use
something else for producing something to put on walls for people left
in office and not on leave to dream about . Word, Outlook, etc.

The compromise would be to put all leave info into one *.mpp file which
is separate from the overall project plan file(s), and use it as a
subproject in the main project file(s).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Hi,

On my Website I have a macro transforming "Calendar" absences into "Non
Working Time" Taks
