Hi - I am trying to find a good reference for when to use the various
republish and publish portions of MS Project. We use MS Project Server
2003. What I thought was the best approach seems to be up for some
debate so let me post what I thought was correct, what we use, and hope
for a solution from someone wiser than me. A gain I'm just looking for
a quick reference that I can pass on to my PM's
Collaborate / Publish / All Information
Use this the first time you publish a project only
Collaborate / Publish / New and Changed Assignments
Use this if you want to update your timesheets, but not if you
want to update project center
Collaborate / Publish / Project Plan
Then choose "summary only" Use this when we update our custom
dashboards and top level information
Then Choose "project Plan and summary" not even sure
Collaborate / Publish/ Republish Assignments
Use this when you need to become the manager for the project, or do
not want emails to go.Updates the project center, but not necessarity
the timesheet.
Okay that's what we have been doing. At one time we were just
Publishing with All information the first time and then some PM's were
using new and changed and some were using republish assignments for any
future republishing. I started to do some research and I read and saw
that each form of republishing updates specific items in Project Web
Access (PWA) - so I am really confused now.
Thanks for you help
