Tasks assignments in PWA timesheets

[shug]

Is it possible to have PWA delete tasks from teh timesheet after they have
been completed (it is quite annoying to have 50 million tasks in the
timesheet; especially when all but one or two of the tasks have been
completed (or even DELETED)...also, is it possible to keep tasks from showing
up in a timesheet if the predecessor tasks have NOT been completed? we would
like for tasks to show up ONLY as the other predecessor tasks have been
completed; and we would like those completed (or DELETED) tasks to disappear
from the timesheet (WITHOUT having to HIDE each task)...any help regarding
this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You need to train your users to make their view the Current Tasks view as
apposed to All Tasks view. The definition of current task is anything that
is not complete or due to start X days in the future. The setting for what
X is is in the Administration page of PWA.

As for hiding tasks in which predecessors have not been completed. If the
project managers are accepting the udpates for ongoing tasks into their plan
including updates to remaining work and the successor relationship is set up
correctly then this should push out the future tasks and if the user has
Current Tasks view, then they should only see what they are working on or
due to start in the near future.

I think it is more about making sure the plans are set up and being updated
correctly by the PMs along with the TMs using the Current Tasks view.
