Summary Task for Update view of Project Manager / ProjectServer2003

[Thomas]

Dear all,

as far as I know it is not possible to display the summary tasks
within update view for project managers.

We are facing the problem with multi-repeating process tasks (same
task names) and thus the project manager is loosing the overview of
updates for these tasks. I am quite sure that some of you are facing
the same problem.

Does anyone know some workarounds?
Is it possible to adjust the update page in another way? (e.g.
computed fields etc.?)
If so, what view do we have to adjust?

Regards,
Thomas

Give the limitatin of the Updates page in PWA, I recommend that you use a
naming convention for tasks in your projects to help your PM's (and team
members ) to distinguish between tasks in different phases. Hope this
helps.

Thanks Dale,

but is it not possible to add some other fields (merging task name
with summary task name)?
Anyhow we will set up naming conventions and keep this issue in mind.

Yes, that would be another possibility. Good idea!
