A new feature in Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 enables administrators to close out tasks to future updates. In scenarios where users must see and report on projects and their task details, users might also want to ensure that no future modifications are made to that plan. The Close Tasks to Update feature enables an administrator to select one or all tasks for closure.
Configuring the Close Tasks to Update page
The Close Tasks to Update page is accessible through the Project Web Access Server Settings page.
Open the Close Tasks to Update page
On the Project Web Access home page, in Quick Launch, click Server Settings.
On the Server Settings page, in the Time and Task Management section, click Close Tasks to Update.
The following options are configured on the Close Tasks to Updates page:
Project. This is a drop-down list box of projects in the server. After a project is selected, all tasks in the plan appear in the Select Tasks section.
Select Tasks. Tasks that are selected should not accept updates after the file is published. An icon appears next to the task. The task cannot be modified when it is viewed in the My Tasks page nor can the line be added to an existing or newly created timesheet.
When tasks are closed to update, no icon appears in the Microsoft Office Project 2007 Add-in for Outlook. When the user attempts to enter updates, the fields and buttons to update progress are unavailable.
