Target versus Published

[Spiro T.]

Can someone tell me what the new "Target" option setting is for when
performing a save in 2003, or what it does.

Spiro --

Are you looking at the Project Server 2003 sample database that shipped with
the software? If so, then the "Target" designation is simply a Version
defined for use in the ficticious company known as A.Datum. If you are not
using the sample DB, then where are you seeing the "Target" option?

 

[Spiro T.]

Yup, it's the sample db.

In the sample DB, the Project Server administrator created an additional
Version called Target, which probably serves as the original "agreed upon"
version of the project before beginning work. The Published version is
always the current production copy of the project. Your Project Server
administrator could create one or more Versions in your own envrionment,
based on the communication and tracking needs of your organization. If no
custom Versions are created, then the only available project Version will be
the Published version. Hope this helps.
