Hiding non-working time in Team Planner View

Hello there. The tasks in my project are typically between 2-5 hours over a week period. In Team Planner View, I'm hoping to provide a better representation of free time between tasks by making my bottom tier hours in a 4 hour count. However,
decreasing the scale forces the Task names become cut off when the event itself shrinks.
I was hoping to remove the non-working time (i.e., nights and weekends) from the Team Planner view to enable a better view. I'm aware that the capabilities of Team Planner View seem to be limited, but is this type of formatting at all possible?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

After I created my response and posted it, I wondered whether you wanted to completely remove the nonworking time periods. This is not possible. The best you can do is to remove the shading for nonworking time periods, but you cannot remove them
entirely in any view. Hope this helps.

Project 2013 freezes in Team planner view

Hi,
While right clicking and changing assignments in a Project file the Team planner freezes and Project must be restarted, this happens all the time and too frequent. The first thing that happens is that the large info box which is shown on right click together
with the smaller one with percentage etc. dissapears. Then the changes can still be saved but Project can not be shut down in the normal way but must be closed by shutting down the process in the Task manager. Then it is just to open the file and
continue as the Team planner works normal again until it freezes again. This has been so since the very beginning, but did not happen in the 2010 version. It only happens in the 2013 version which of course is the one we use as the reports in it are so great.
Any ideas to get rid of this annoying problem?
Kind regards //Anders

Hi Ben,
Thanks for looking into it. Perhaps it is something wrong with the installation or the PC that it runs on, have not thought of that before. Should try to copy the file to another computer and download a trial version to run it on and see if the problem is
still there. Otherwise Snag it seems like a good idea. The time for project to stop working varies a lot, normally everything from 3- 10 minutes. There is one thing that normally seems to get project to stop working sooner and that is when switching between
the Team planner and the Gantt view.
The work sequence is like this:
-Open the project file
-Expand all tasks in the Gantt view
-Switch to Team planner, begin to drag & drop tasks between resources
-Mark a task in the Team planner view and switch to Gantt view to check how the project where the marked task is located underneath is following the plan.
-Switch back to Team planner, continue to switch tasks between resources
-Mark a task in the Team planner view and switch to Gantt view to check how the Project is following the plan, as above.
After a number of switches between the views project normally just stops working completely. Memory usage normally goes up to 140 MB, not much but still an increase towards the normal. The above sequence is the quickest way of getting Project to stop working.
Would be interesting to see if you would get any problems repeating the sequence. If that would work for you for 10 minutes there must be something wrong with either the project installation or with the computer.
Thanks and kind regards //Anders

A dynamic Team Planner View to concurrent users

Hello, I currently have MS Project Professional 2010. Our business is looking into possibly upgrading our system but we need the team planner view in whatever we choose. We currently have hundreds of projects and thousands of tasks linked to resource pool.
The team planner view is the easiest and fastest view for the business to identify what each person is doing on a particular day, who is helping them, who is working on their project, who is on vacation, etc. Issues we're having right now include:
1) Project Professional freezes when multiple users try to access the team planner view at the same time. Even after downloading the hotfix package.
2) We tried uploading some work to Sharepoint but Sharepoint doesn't like tasks with start-to-start predecessors or lag times which greater than 50% of our tasks have.
3) The printable team planner view prints out hundreds of blank pages between sets of dates. I'm assuming they are "unassigned tasks" and there is no method of removing them. Resource names don't carry over to the second set of dates.
Is team planner view available in Project Server or the PWA? We're trying to find a way to get this view to everyone. Allow multiple concurrent users to view it at the same time. And to have their view change simultaneously as I change it without having
to upload or print a new team planner view every time I change something.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply Andrew. We explored using the Resource Assignment View but it had its own set of issues like:
1) I can assign up to 40 tasks a week to one person, this creates quite a list for each person as the Resource Assignment View lists the tasks in the column under the person's name. A filtered list of one week still creates a long list, 40-50 pages long,
for 30-40 resources.
2) Our resources had a hard time finding who was helping them on certain tasks because of this gigantic list. Again, they are unable to access MS Project without freezing the document so they can't open the task and find out who's helping. Therefore, we
like the condensed Team Planner view.
I will explore the SSRS report option but from a little light reading, it appears as though this report doesn't automatically update every time I make a change to the schedule. Therefore, I need to manually create a new report everytime I make
a change to the schedule?
Thanks Again,
Travis

Transfer Gantt Chart View color's automatically to Team Planner View

Hi there. My project has 7 different resources with various Resource Names ending characters. I've automatically color coded the bars on my Gantt Chart based on resource allocation by using Flags 1-7, Custom Fields, and the formula IIf(Left([Resource
Names],3)="xxx",Yes,No). I then change the format of each bar style to the color I desire.
I am looking for a way to automatically transfer the colors I have assigned the tasks in my Gantt Chart to the Team Planner view. I don't believe there is a simple way to do this but would appreciate any help aside from manually formatting each of
the tasks in Team Planner view.
Thanks for the help!
-Joe

Alas, there is no way to do what you want with the Team Planner view. This is because there is no dialog similar to the Bar Styles dialog where you can control the formatting. Basically, the Team Planner view has definitions for Manually Scheduled
tasks, Auto Scheduled tasks, Actual Work on tasks, External Tasks, and Late Tasks. Using the corresponding buttons in the Styles section of the Format ribbon with the Team Planner Tools applied, you can control the fill color and the border color for
every bar of one of those types. But there is no way to add other buttons to the ribbon to control the Gantt-like bars that are shown in the Team Planner view. So, what you want to do with the Team Planner view is not possible. Sorry.
Hope this helps.

Displaying Non-Work time for all resources via a Calendar?

I am looking for a way to display a calendar or a view of all resources that will show the planned vacation time for each resource based on the "non-work time" set in each resource calendar.

Hi,
As workaround solution, through P6 professional you can create a report with choosing
"Resources" as subject Area and selecting "Time Distributed Data" option and,
At "Time Intervals Field" you can select "Limit" to be distributed.
This will give you a tabular report showing resource limit over selected period with selected intervals.
Regards,
Marcos

How to forward support messages to SAP in non-working time automatically?

Hi colleagues and Happy New Year!
I have a question: how to forward support messages to SAP at non-working time automatically?
Details:
when a support message is created at working time it shouldn't leave my system, but when
a support message is created at non working time, for example, on saturday night it should be sent to SAP automatically. Where in the system I can find the options to customize it to provide these requirements?

Non- Working Time

In sap when i am trying to create a/p invoice based on a grpo and the posting date and due date is 06/01/08 (which is sunday) the system throws following prompt" 06/01/08 is defined as non- working time? continue. yes,no.". The calender defined for the company in the system is of yr 2006 and weekend as saturday to sunday.
-"Valid for one yr only" box is selected
-"Ignore weekends for payments" is NOT selected
Also system never threw this msg when i created a po and grpo.
please let me know why the system has thrown this prompt.

Hi Kapil,
The solution to this problem lies in the fact that you must have mentioned the Payment Date in the BP master data for the vendor......this window is appearing in the Payment Terms Tab in the BP master Data below Holidays.
Use the window to define the days each month in which your customer usually pays the open invoices, or the days each month that your company pays its vendors.
Example
When 10 and 20 are defined in the Payment Dates window for a certain customer, the invoice due dates are calculated as follows:
·        If the posting date is between the 1st and the 10th of a certain month the due date of the invoice is the 10th of that same month.
·        If the posting date is between the 10th and the 20th of a certain month the due date of the invoice is the 20th of that same month.
·        If the posting date is after the 21st of a certain month the due date of the invoice will be the 10th of the next month
Hope this helps.....reward points if helpful

Scheduling changeover times in non working times

PP/DS heuristics and or the PP/DS optimiser will not automatically place changeover times in non working times, however other smaller APS systems have such functionality. Has anyone come across this or have a method to use to get APO to do this? May be it should be a new development?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply. Yes i am aware of this setting - this is the standard approach, however do you know of a way automatically (heuristic or optimiser) schedule the set up segment of an order into non working times whilst keeping the produce section in productive time? I know you can amend the strategy and use that in the heuristic but it will schedule all parts of the order in the non working time if it can.
Thanks
Fred

Non working times report in pwa 2010

how can I report out non working time for resources?

See this similar
post for a code oriented solution for resources.
This
post gives a similar code for project exceptions.
Otherwise, select Reports | Assignment | Who Does What, edit the Report, and then within the Details Tab, select Calendar under the resource column. It will list each resource's calendar and non working time. See reference
here.
Hope this helps,

Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project. I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail. It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations). I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
Still had the same behavior: Reader will not print. I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either. I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either. In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.) No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9: printing works fine now.
There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments. (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)
More details about my environment:
Windows 7 Professional N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
VMWare virtual machine
Two virtual CPUs (each: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 2673 Mhz, 1 core, 1 Logicial Processor)
Hardware Abstraction Layer: 6.1.7601.17514
RAM: 3096 (allocated to virtual machine)

18 Gig RAM

Note 403102 - Offset takes non-working time of resource into account

Hello Friends,
I have implemented the OSS notes 403102 for considering the offset value without considerding the non working time of the resource in APO system.
but as i have implemented the sample code given there(copy & Paste) the functionality seems to be not working.
the productive hours maintained in the transaction /SAPAPO/RES01 is 8.5 hrs.
previously the system was considering the productive hours as 24 and was calculating.
after implementation of the notes if I specify a 4 days offset iam getting 3.5 days offset . for 6 days its 5 days offset.
does anyone faced this issue.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
if u any code modification u can mail to me at [email protected]
Thanx & Regards,
Mahadev Shetty.

Hi Rob,
The msg was provided by SAP, but i am unable to correlate the exact code that i have to write.

Non-working time for particular resources

I have reviewed the suggested answers and they don't seem to fit my case. Project 2013 Pro.
I have a particular resource who takes three days off. These days occur in the middle of an 8 day task, fixed duration, on which he is only working 20%. He has his own calendar to deliver this information and I have checked that the days off display in Resource
Sheet/Resource Information for that person. The fact that he takes off three days is not shown by the bar in Gantt view. (standard time off is set to 'behind task bars').
If I temporarily change his commitment to 100%, the calculated hours in the task form are 40, showing that the software is recognising his time off, since otherwise it would be 8x8=64. The gap in his work time still doesn't show.
Is there a way to show the gap so that I know (well, remember) he is not around for those three days?
Cheers
Alan

TeamPlanner view shows the resource's nonworking time as it is seen below:

Team Planner not working. Click on Team Planner and nothing happens.

I have Project Professional 2010 and using with Project Server 2010. When I go the the View ribbon and click on Team Planner, nothing happens. Is this a view or a piece of functionality? I looked in Organizer and also do not see any view named Team Planner.
Not sure why this is not working. Anyone know nwhat the issue may be and how to get Team PLanner working?

Rick VF --
Navigate to the Task ribbon and then click the Gantt Chart pick list button (little down-arrow below the Gantt Chart button). Examine the list of Views shown on the pick list. Do you see the Team Planner view listed? If not, click the More
Views item. In the Organizer dialog, do you see the Team Planner view listed in the left side of the dialog? If the answer is NO to both questions, then I would suspect that someone has intentionally deleted this new default View from your Microsoft
Project 2010, and you will probably need to reinstall the software to get it back. By default, the Team Planner view should be available to you in Microsoft Project 2010. Let us know if this helps.
