Resource Usage view vs details in "hrs" and "days"

[Frederick]

Good day,

Using MSP2003 Pro, SP2-A. In the view "resource usage"
->for the resource, i.e. the "summary task", the work, actual & rem are
displayed in "hours" (hrs)
->for the tasks in the same view, for the "detailed tasks", the work, actual
& rem are displayed in "days" (d).

I would like both to be displayed in days; I have looked about a hundred
times at the Tools, Option panel, both options are set to "entered and
displayed in days", the same result as above persists.

Please advise if you know how to change the display config for this, thanks!

Hi Frederick,

Odd. When using Project 2003 Professional, and changing the "Work is
Entered In" from hours to days, all data in the Resource Usage view
updates immediately.

Are you working connected to Project Server and using a file based upon
the Enterprise Global template? I know just about nothing about Project
Server but that may be an issue. My understanding is the Enterprise
Global controls information in Views. Just a stab in the dark.

If you are using Project Server, you may wish to post your question to
the server newsgroup.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

Good day JulieS,

Good guess, we are using the connected mode. The same view is in fact used
to display work effort for other project plans to which the resource assigned
as well as tasks within the given plan.

I'll post the issue on the server side, thanks for your prompt input!

Cheers,

You're welcome Frederick and thanks for the feedback.
