MS Project Critical Task Progress

I am using the Tracking gantt view... I have determined the critical path as well of the project. These tasks are highlighted in red.
I am currently updating a task that is critical to be 100% complete ...
However it's turning it green... when it is 100% percent complete I want it to show that this is a 100% complete critical task (in red color) ..
I have made changes in the bar style.. Am I doing something wrong?

In addition to the excellent answer from Dale, if you want to still color in red "complete critical tasks" (that sounds like a non-sense, sorry for that...), assuming that the total slack is the right criteria for critical task:
you could create a custom flag based on the total slack equal to 0
then create a new red bar style based on this flag
Doing this, tasks that used to be critical but that are now completed (thus considered by Project as non-critical anymore) will still have the "critical" bar style.
Hope this helps.

Import Task progress in Project Server 2013

Hi,
Import task progress feature in Project Server 2013:
I have updated actuals in tasks page in PWA 2013, and saved it. I tried to import it to timesheet page but the value already exists and the import task progress option is greyed out. i mean, when i enter actuals in tasks page and save it, the value automatically
comes in timesheet page, then what is the use of Import task progress.
Am i understood correctly?
Please help.
K.Gokulraj

Hi,
In my environment SEM is not enabled, i want to know how this option "import task progress" will be help full in time sheets.
Once i enter task hours or task % complete from My tasks then the actual hours in time sheets are
automatically filling.
Can anyone tell me
what is the use of the "import
task progress" How this option is use full & in which scenarios we can use this option.
Thank You, Kumar KSV

How to modify criteria for critical tasks

We want to make sure that if any task's slack is anything frm 0 to 4 days it should fall on the critical path. So that we can track all tasks which are meeting business process's rule criticality. Is there a way to do it;

Project Beginner --
Yes, there is a way to customize the definition of Critical task on a project by project basis. Click File > Options > Advanced. At the bottom of the Advanced page, change the value in the Tasks Are Critical If Slack Is Less Than or Equal
To field. In the situation you describe, change the value to 4 days. You can change this definition on each project, based on the size and scheduling needs of the project.
By the way, in following the above steps, you are asking Microsoft Project to show you the true Critical Path (tasks with Total Slack = 0 days) along with the Nearly Critical Path (tasks with Total Slack > 0 days). There is a trick in the software
that will allow to visually distinguish between the true Critical Tasks and the Nearly Critical tasks. To do this, click the Format tab to display the Format ribbon. In the Bar Styles section of the Format ribbon, select the Critical Tasks checkbox
to display Critical and Nearly Critical tasks with red Gantt bars. Then select the Slack checkbox as well. Every Nearly Critical task that has Total Slack greater than 0 days will show a navy blue underscore to the right of the red Gantt bar, while
truly Critical tasks will not display the underscore.
Hope this helps.

Team Managers to update task progress

I would like to set up my Project in a way that tasks will be assigned to specific resources but their managers will be the ones to update task progress (as they will be the ones using the Project Web Application). Is that do-able?
Thanks,
Ayelet

Yes it is doable.
In MS Project Pro, you can set the team member in the resource field but use the assignment owner field to enter the manager's name so they will receive the task update in their task page in PWA.
Note that in addition to the assignment owner field at assignment level in the project plan, you can use the "default assignment owner" which is a resource attribute, in case of team member will always have their managers as task progress updaters.
See reference below:

Are you not storing the project number in the staging table designed for storing the task data? You can use create_project API to create the project and tasks at the same time with one single call. You may want to try that option

Formatting Critical Tasks (Text in Table) not applying across all columns

All,
I am working on creating a schedule from multiple smaller schedules. A few of these schedules had manual text formatting which I overwrote manually (selecting cells and changing text color). Now when attempting to apply text styles to the critical
path the text styles will not apply to all Critical tasks or all columns visible. I'm guessing I caused problems by manually changing the text color but I don't know how to fix it. Please help!

All of the manual text formatting and re-formatting in cells has changed the default formatting in the Gantt Chart View.
Rather than fiddling with it, the best way is to recover the original formatting of the Gantt Chart View, and then if you want to modify it make a copy of that view, name the copy something like "AA Gantt Chart 01", and then format the text and bar
styles (not individual bits and pieces of cells and bars) of your new view. Include the "AA" or an underscore or something similar as part of the name so that your new views always go to the top of the list and you can always distinguish them
from the original ones that came out of the box.
Use the organiser to recover the original Gantt Chart View by pulling the Gantt Chart View from the global template. Now, MSP will not allow you to over-write the Gantt Chart View in your file while that view is the active view, so you will have to switch
to another view while you do it. Switch to the Tracking Gantt View, then File, Organiser. You see all of the clean stuff on the left hand side and all of the stuff in your file on the right.
In the future, leave the original views as they are. Also, leave the original tables, filters, groups, reports etc alone and if you need modified/customised versions of them make copies and change the copies. This is just good housekeeping. Also, do not
copy modified/customised views from your file into the global template ((or you will poison the well).
Hope this helps. Please mark as answer.

Project and task on Internal requisition from ASCP

Hi Team,
We have an organization Project enabled. Sale and the Planning suggest the Planned order (of the nature internal requisition). When Planned order is released Internal requisition distribution is not pulling the project and task information.
Can any one help?

Hi Veekam,
Let me get clarity------You are releasing the requisition from Workbench of item that is hard pegged in your( Shipping)organisation.
you can see a project no and task assign to the planned order
You do not want the project no and task to follow to supplying organisation , but only IR should carry the PJ no and task.
I fail to understand if you do not want the Project no and Task to flow on ISO, then what is a use of Flowing with IR
Because if it flows with IR automatically it will appear in ISO as well.
You will have to also check whether the item is also hard pegged in supplying Org in that case only PJ no and task will flow to that org
IR/ISO relation is permanent whatever information IR will carry you will see same in ISO

Automatically opening new task progress window

Hi,
I am running ARD3.1. Until recently ARD would automatically open a separate window showing task progress. It has spontaneously stopped doing so, and I cannot find any preference in 3.1 for changing this. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks.

Check your ARD preferences again. Specifically, make sure that under the Task header in your preferences you have selected "Always change focus to active task".
Hope this helps!

and it involved changing QALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE6 of Project name LOV also:

But now for all old timecards we see the project name feild, but its blank.....I am just curious that if this functionality is implemented somewhere before, then someone might have answer to my question
Thanks in advance

At this time, it's not possible to collaborate on a Project with External Contributors or add an Externally-Facing group to a Project. This is functionality that we we hope to add at some point in the future.

30EA2- 2.1.*: Task Progress indication

Hi,
As I just said in another thread, GREAT work on the worksheet threading.
Just one thing which I'm not completely comfortable with: the Task Progress. Don't get me wrong, the window itself is AWESOME when doing many things, but comes with a cost for simpler actions and not-so-power users.
Keep in mind users even requested a working/progress indication in the worksheet's tab label (like different icon or so). Now even the working/progress indication in the the worksheet's toolbar is removed. That's a step back for many. Now there's no quick way of knowing a worksheet's working and so you might rerun the same statement easily (I did so many times already).
Can the working/progress indication in the the worksheet's toolbar be put back, and will the tab label get some indication too by production?
Thanks,
K.

Indeed, apparently only SELECT statements get handled correctly. Not even PL/SQL gets handled. That's probably why I started the thread, but didn't remember.
Can someone from the team bug this?
As for the "current SQL", there's a cool SQL link in the Query Result and Script Output's toolbars.
When the other statements get correctly handled, I hope the developer reminds to add this to the Statement Output's toolbar too.
FWIW, all tasks are shown in the Task Progress (reachable through the view menu if hidden).
However here I have to note bug 2: Cancelling statements other than SELECT doesn't work here! The indication shows cancelled, and you can start new actions on the connection, but they get queued hidden to the IDE.
Can someone from the team bug this too?
Thanks a lot for dropping in, Buntoro!

Thanks for your tip on changing the built-in reports! I will see what I can do with it.
I know that 9iR2 is not supported anymore. It's just that the documentation says that SQLDeveloper 4 is certified for it!

Task Progress in Self Service or Web Based Model

Hi,
If we have "Physical Percent Complete Rollup Method as Cost" then how the system will update the Progress Information. I mean, do we need to run any concurrent program or any other process to update the Progress Information in the Self Service Model.
thanks,

Actually there are some formulas which will calculate Roll-Up Progress Information of the Parent Task or the Summary Task whenever we select any Roll-Up method other than Manual.
You will find in details information in "Oracle Project Management User Guide" and "Oracle Projects Fundamentals User Guide".

Could I use EJB in mission-critical task,like telecom realtime billing?

We will begin a project about telecom billing.The key point of the project is the realtime billing,which is must be processed with high speed and efficiency.We have a plan to use Tuxedo on which to run some services coded by c lanaguage.Other management facilities and interfaces with other system could be built by java(EJB).
Now ,I am wonder why couldn't we using EJB in billing task ? Is there any success story about using EJB model to build mission-citical system? or is EJB good for that?
thanks

Joy Wind,
AFAIK, The answer is NO. Java itself is not "currently" suitable for real time applications.
However, there is a community process going on at http://www.rtj.org/.
There is also a reference implementation available which you can check out.
http://www.timesys.com/prodserv/java/index.cfm
I guess you can use it for proto-types and demos. However, if you want to use it in some mission critical application then you have to wait till it becomes a part of standard java.
hope this helps.
regards,
Abhishek.
