Unpublish Old Projects?

[Darrell]

What are people doing with the old project tasks on resource's My Tasks page?
As we complete projects our resources are starting to accumulate a lot of My
Task pages (some have 30 pages of old tasks) so I am looking for a
best-practices method for managing these old tasks.

My first instinct is to unpublish these old schedules; as long as they are
still in the reporting database I still have access to the data right?

In, addition, will this eliminate them from the PWA views like the resource
assignments views as well?

Darrel,

I would do the same. I believe the tasks stay in the cube

Thx Marc,

I couldn't think of a down side to unpublishing but wanted to see if anyone
else had a better process before proceeding.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this. I'm curious, how do you
unpublish schedules? I've never heard of doing that. We use a
different method to archive completed projects to remove them from PWA
views, but it has it's downsides. Thanks!!

Doug,

In Project Pro 2007 you can insert the "Publish" field into the Entry table
and toggle between "yes" and "no". Selecting "no" removes the assignment from
the published database.

Thanks, Darrell. We're still on Project 2003, but evaluating the
benefits of migrating to 2007. I was unaware of that being a new
feature, but it sounds like a great one.

Is there a way to hide the project from the Project Workplaces also?
