Inserting a PORTION of a subproject into a master project
in [Project]
|
From: Belinda Lee on 5 Apr 2010 18:25 In Project 2007, I cannot find how to insert a portion of a subproject into a master project. I have 25 different subprojects that are all organized by phases (Phase 1-5). The master needs to consolidate the subprojects by these respective phases. For example: MASTER - Phase 1 --- From subproject 1 --- From subproject 2 --- From subproject 3 - Phase 2 --- From subproject 2 --- From subproject 3 --- From subproject 4 - Phase 3 --- From subproject 3 --- From subproject 4 --- From subproject 5 .... and so on and so forth. Can anyone help me?
From: PlanMan on 5 Apr 2010 19:27 I would link the subprojects to the master via external linkages (maybe you can avoid a "master file" altogether). Likely you would duplicate the tasks in the master and link them externally to the respective subproject files. I hope I understood your question correctly. This is done by opening the subproject and master file and using "Sub Project Name"\(task id #) as a predecessor name where the "Sub Project Name" is the name of the file and the task id# is the line in which the task appears in your sub project file. Depending on what are you specifically want you can always just copy and paste tasks into another file - highlight the entire row and then right click and copy task.

From: Andrew Lavinsky on 5 Apr 2010 20:40 You could probably do this by: 1) Adding a custom field to your subprojects flagging each task by phase. 2) Inserting subprojects into your master project 3) Adding a custom group (Project > Group by > More Groups) to group by Phase and then Project. I don't have a copy of Project in front of me, but in concept that should work. "Belinda Lee" wrote: > In Project 2007, I cannot find how to insert a portion of a subproject > into a master project.
