Re: Removing Team Status requests

Hi Julie,

Found a solution -

First, I can't "resend the assignment to the resource" because the
assignments weren't sent in thefirst place. They are still generic resources
with no email address.

"If you add the unique ID field and note the assignment unique IDs
then track to the same assignment in the Resource Usage view. Does the
indicator appear? - Yes. Also, the Response Pending field say NO.

The indicator is the envelope with a question mark in the lower right and a
clock in the lower left - which I believe indicates an overdue response.

Only 4 generic resources - with very similar names - were impacted.

Solution - create 4 new resources and copy/move all of the initial resources
assignments to the corresponding new resource. Not pretty, but it works.

ciao

Hello Robert,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. If I understand you
correctly, the field Response Pending is correct but you are seeing the
indicator for Response pending on some assignments in the Task Usage
view. If you add the unique ID field and note the assignment unique IDs
then track to the same assignment in the Resource Usage view. Does the
indicator appear?

If you resend the assignment to the resource can he/she respond again?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Julie,
Can you suggest how to fix this one?
Project Pro/SP2

.mpp file has 10,000 tasks, 30,000 assignments, 500+ Resources.

Response Pending field in both Task Usage and Resource Usage shows all
rows
as "NO." Indicators in Resources Usage View agrees but Indicators in
Task
Usage shows Response Pending icon for many (but not nearly all)
Assignments
for 4 different resources. Any suggestions on how to clear this
before the
project goes live?

Thanks,
Robert

Hi David,

Sorry. If you add the Response pending field to the Task Usage View
or
Resource Usage view, can you change the Response pending field for
the
assignment? Again, I am looking at Project 2003 and the only
Response
Pending field that I can edit is the assignment field.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, but it didn't quite work, as field is protected.

Hi David,

This is from memory so I may be off a bit. I think there is a
field in
Project 2000 named "Response Pending". If you add that field to a
table
(Insert Column) and set the field to no.

Hope this helps, let us know how you get along.

I'm running Project 2000 and use the Team Status facility to get
updates
from
my team.

Anyone know how I can get rid of an outstanding TS request when
I know
I'll
never get a reply?
