Task Approvals

[JCH]

We are using the Project Server - Activities to allocate small project tasks
to engineers. This is working fine and a team of about 5 operation
controllers are creating activities with 2 or 3 tasks and allocating them.

When the Engineer updates his timesheet and task etc, he submits the Task
Update, and the operations controller who setup the activity gets the task
update for approval.

Is there anyway to set the system up for these users so that either they can
see all Task Updates for Approval in the Operations Controllers team, or that
they can view another users Approval list. We need this to cover holidays
etc.

Thanks
John

The answer is Yes, but the procedure is different in 2003 and 2007. So,
which are you using? For 2003, you select Collaborate > Publish > Republish
Assignments selecting the check box to take ownership of the assignments.
For 2007, you have the new PM open the project, insert the Status Manager
field into a task view and set the value to themselves, and then publish the
project. In both cases, all new and pending updates will transfer to the new
PM.

Thanks for the reply, which would be fine if the Projects had been created
in Project Pro 2007, but I may not have been clear, the task are created via
the Project Server (2007) PWA as activities, and you can only enter the bare
minimum of information against at task in the PWA.
