Display different phases of a single task on one line
in [Project]
|
From: simjambra on 30 Apr 2010 10:59 Hello! I'm trying to display different phases of a single task on one line in Project 2007. There are over 40 individual tasks on the Gantt chart I am using and each of these will contain separate phases. I would like to represent these phases as bars in a different colour so it's easy to pick out the length of each distinct section of the task (e.g. Planning, Approval, Implementation). Is it possible to do this? Thanks for your help in advance -- simjambra ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simjambra's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/130906.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-project/1332752.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: Andrew Lavinsky on 30 Apr 2010 12:00 You would have to break the task into four subtasks, add dependencies, modify the bar styles, then use the rollup options to roll the subtasks to the summary. Check out the help screen for the Rollup field. For Bar Styles, you'd probably need to create four flag fields (Planning, Approval, Implementation, etc.) and then flag each subtask as to which code it is. Then doublelick on the Gantt Chart, and play with creating multiple bar styles based off of each of the flag fields. I'd have to play with it to figure out how to get the colors to roll up correctly, but it should be doable. - Andrew Lavinsky Blog: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/epm > Hello! > > I'm trying to display different phases of a single task on one line in > Project 2007. > > There are over 40 individual tasks on the Gantt chart I am using and > each of these will contain separate phases.

I answered the question then.

From: simjambra on 30 Apr 2010 16:45 Hi there... Richard is actually my colleague who asked me the question and I couldn't answer so I put it on here. Very embarrassed that he's already gone down that route. Sincere apologies for the re-post! I'll try a few more searches next time but I do appreciate the responses so thanks anyway. -- simjambra ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simjambra's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/130906.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-project/1332752.htm http://forums.techarena.in
