PWA My assigments view

[Daniel Villalba]

Is there any way to remove all completed task from my assigments view (in
PWA), right now I have serveral team members that have to scroll up and down
or sorting by column in order to find the tasks are still opened.

Daniel --

If your team members choose to view all tasks, they will continue to see
EVERY task on the My Tasks page, regardless of whether the tasks are
completed, in progress, or unstarted tasks. If they choose to show only
Current Tasks, they will see only the following:

-- Tasks that should have started before today, but have not.
-- In-progress tasks.
-- Tasks that start in the near future.
-- Tasks that start in the near past.

The value for the "near future" and "near past" period is determined by the
Project Server administrator by specifying the setting that determines
"current" tasks. Another option is to purchase one of our company's custom
Web Parts for the My Tasks page to "tame" the page. Refer to the following
URL for more information about these Web Parts:

Hope this helps.

Another option, is to set the "publish" column in MS project, to "No" for all
tasks that are completed and republish the project. This will take away the
completed tasks from the "My Tasks" page of the resources.

You will have make it a regular activity, though..

In addition to the excellent suggestions here, make sure you have a proper
process for closing finished projects. When there is no more work expected
towards a project, (e.g. warranty period is finished) what we do is this:

* Set the project status as completed (custom field, informative)
* Set all resources as proposed
* Set any trailing work remaining to zero

And then publish the project. This will remove all remaining tasks from all
resources from being visible, but leave the project in the databases for
reporting.

Hope that helps,

Hi Jussi,

good point, that some more steps are required like setting remaining
work to zero and mark the project as completed if required. I completely
agree.

Nevertheless I have some concerns with changing booking type. This will
change the Availability View. Depending on the process definition this
can lead to some misunterstanding.

In my opinion can 'set the "publish" column in MS project to "No" for
all tasks that are completed and republish the project' as Prasanna
suggested be the better solution than changing booking type to proposed.

A "No" on task level for 'publish' fortunately doesn't affect the
reporting DB or PWA views. So any information will still be visible. But
it will affect the appearance in "My Tasks" in the same way as booking
type "proposed" does.

Best regards
Barbara
