Want to show summary tasks in PWA View

[John Simko]

I am trying to create a view in PWA 2003 that filters out only "technical
review" tasks that occur throughout the project. In addition to seeing the
specific "technical review" tasks, I want to be able to see the parent rollup
tasks to give them proper context. If I set this up in Project Professional,
it works fine, because by default it includes parent tasks. Unfortunately,
when I run this in PWA all I get is a list of tasks that state "technical
review". Is it possible to include the summary tasks in PWA views?

Thanks,
John

John:

Try adding the field "Summary" to the view and add this field to your
filter. Summary equals "yes"

Gary,

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, it does not have the desired
results. If I add that criteria, I get no results because the two fields are
exclusionary. I wish it worked more like the timesheet views, which shows
all tasks for an individual and allows you to hide and show the summary
tasks. Any other advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I tried it, and it's a bit flakey. Try opening the view options tab and
click show summary tasks.
