Task Update Page (urgent)

[SA]

M a user of MSP 2007. I want to modify the "Task Update" view (with respect
fields) so n how can I add/change the filelds in of "Task Updates" page.
As per my understanding from"Manage View" option in server setting, we can
change the views. But in this case "Task Update" view is not there in manage
view page.

Hi SA,
This is not a configurable view, so your only option would be some form of
customisation of the web page.

SA:

When you add fields to the My Tasks view, they will show up tacked on the
end of the Updates view. That's all you can do to influence this view.

Thank you for your quick responses.

The reason behinde customizing the "task updates" page (well now its a wish)
is that
as a PM I want to see the work hours that were actually planned against an
assignemnt, while I am approving timesheet of that task. (We are using "My
task" not Time sheet).

The Scenario is:
I planed a task "Test Task" with estimated time of "8h" and assigned it to
resource "TM1".
"TM1" performed that task and submit me a time sheet of 12h.
Now, While updating his time sheet of 12h in "Task Updates" Page, I want to
see the planned hours against "Test Task". (Without opening the project in
project pro or opening any other view at PWA) So that I could ask from
resource the reason of exceeded time (is it entered by mistake or he actually
has taken this much time) This way I can avoid any wrong updates reflecting
into the project plan.

The Bad thing in PWA for all this is that, If you exceeds "Actual Hours"
from planned work, the "Work" field also increased same as "Actual Work" .
and one completly lost with Planned hors for that specific assignment.

So now my prolem is who can i avoid possible mistakes of wrong time sheet
entered by resources from being reflected into project plan.

What you want to see, if you have saved this information, is the baseline
work hours. You can add this to the My Tasks view.

Yes, It is baseline work hours. I have added this in My Task view and can see
it in My Task page but not gettig it in Task Updates page.

Well, it won't show up in the Updates page until published values are pushed
there through updates.

Hi Gary,

I added both Baseline Work (Task) and Baseline Work (Assignement) to My
Tasks view - neither was added to Task Updates view (even if published hours
pushed there).
Please advise if it is possible to add either Custom Enterprise or Built-in
Enterprise fields to Task Updates page.

Thanks in advance, I found your posts really helpful
