We don't really use it at that level, but wouldn't it be as simple as using a View in the Program view to display Actual, Planned, and Budget? You could even Group and summarize the totals. You could write some Text Mode code to subtract the difference, etc. You could also write a Project Report to ...

Hi Heather, The $$NOW should work and have the time (Fig. 1). When you say " But all I'm getting when I use $$NOW is the date, no time." What do you mean? Are you trying to place the $$NOW into a field? In which case the field itself would need to have that Time format turned on under Advanced Optio...

Hi Terry, No I don't think you're missing anything. There is no Primary Contact (or equivalent field) on a Task and thus the information is not currently brought over (as far as I know). We ran into this problem a couple of years back and used our API to solve it. We have it convert the Issue to a T...

Hi Susan, On the comment issue, the project owner is not automatically tagged on a comment (unlike with a Task where the assignee automatically gets notified of a comment). The project owner gets other notifications depending on what you've turned on (under Setup > Email > Notifications > Informatio...

Hi Michael, I don't believe the Weeks in Durations are 7 work days. A week would be equal to 5 working days (which still equates to a calendar week). It will all depend on how you define and use your Schedules (NOTE: there's a hierarchy on which schedule is used – i.e. global, project, user levels)....

Thanks Doug. Yes you're right, an Assignment report would be more thorough. And it is good to make sure you're not clobbering another assignment (it could get tricky sometimes).

Yeah that's a good point. I meant to mention that. The Commit Date may appear locked when they click Work On It. It's not locked, it just doesn't change unless the Assignee changes it from that point forward. But the Planned Completion Date does not get locked (and as far as I know has no connection...

Hi Angie, If you're talking about doing it via the People > Scheduling and Swap actions, it looks like it's limiting us to only replace the person with someone in the same Role (which kinda stinks). At least that's what it looks like. I don't use that function at all. What I would do is create a Tas...

Hi Aileen, OK I've tested this and I believe something else is causing those dates to lock on you. I'm very confident the Work On It does not lock dates. I'm 99.6% confident  . They say always allow for the 1% chance that you're wrong, but I'm willing to only allow a .4% chance on this one  . It'd...

Hi Aileen, I'm not sure what is meant by Work On It locks the timelines. I have not found that to be the case at all. As far as I know it simply moves the Task to your My Work (and that's pretty much it). If tasks are getting locked I would suspect something else is causing it. If you have Predecess...
