Warning Notes of Deadlines

[Dip]

Hello,

Is there any method in MSP 2003 to warn us of imminent deadlines for tasks
just before the deadline ? Something similar to checking the % task remaining
(hours or %).

Thanks,
Dip

You could use a custom Task field that calculates the difference between the
Deadline date and the Finish date of any task that has a Deadline date, and
then displays an appropriate indicator. Hope this helps.

Dale,

So you want me to insert an outline code and customise the field to use a
graphical indicator? Please explain in brief.

Thank you,
Dip

No, I recommend that you create a custom task field containing a FORMULA.
You can also use graphical indicators, such as red, yellow, and green
stoplights, with the custom field as well. Hope this helps.
