Update Page in PWA

[Darrell]

I recently asked my buddy in IT to add the task ID number to the tasks update
page used by project managers to update tasks. I set him up as a PM, we
created a test project with dummy tasks and I then updated them to populate
his update page. His update page already contains the task ID column!! No
matter which system he logged into he had the ID column and I did not have it
on the same machine. None of the other PMs have the task ID column either.
Does anyone have a suggestion for inserting the task ID column into the tasks
update page?

Darrell:

Did you add the Task Id field to the published fields through Tools >
Customize > Published Fields? That's the only way to push this through to
the updates page.

Gary,

Yes. I had already added the Task ID to the resource "View My Tasks" page. I
have added the Task ID to most of the emails as well to make it easier for
the PM to identify tasks they are updating. What I can't figure out is why
when I made someone a PM and created a test project with a few tasks, and
then updated those task to populate his "View task changes submitted by
resources" page his page shows the task ID and no one elses does. I have
added the Task ID as you suggested below just to be sure and will check back
later.

It's the publish action that actually pushes the field out to web access. It
will appear for those PMs who have published or republished tasks with the
fields included.
