Project Web Access Views - Help Help Help

[Allen]

Hi all

I can add and modify project web access views for assignments,
projects and so forth, but I can't see how to RUN them. It's driving
me to drink. Does anyone know how to get the view to produce data on
the screen or in Excel?

Allen --

What do you mean by "run" the views? Views are meant for viewing project
information, such as viewing the portfolio of projects in the Project Center
views. Please give us more detailed information about what you mean by
"run" a view.

HI Dale

Thanks for responding.

My basic problem is getting task info OUT of MSP 2003, across multiple
projects. I've created a task enterprise outline code called 'Work
Type'. I've found the cube doesn't show task level information, so I'm
struggling just trying to see (for instance) how much work has been
done on tasks with a task enterprise outline code of (for instance)
'Quality Assurance', or 'Billable Work'.

One possible avenue: I've created Views in the PWA at the Assignment
level where I've included the fields I want - task, actual work,
outline code, resource name. Called my view 'Please work, Please' and
it's in the list in the PWA, but I can't see any way of getting the
view to produce any data for me, or see data in the columns I've asked
for in the view.

Otherwise, Microsoft seem to have left us all with the singler option
of writing our own reports on a fairly complex (and undocumented?)
data structure?

I've tried the VBA-Assignemtn level fix, but the cube only shows
'level 1' or 'level 2' for all of my task outline codes, no detail.

I can't be the lone ranger on this one. We must all need to report by
the TYPE of work we are doing across multiple projects.

Any suggestions will be gratefully explored.
