hi michael,
that’s a pretty nifty access db you’ve got there. i like it!

ash, not possible to do the cross assignment.
what i would do is make a copy of the baseline (in the maintain baselines screen). then i would restore the copy of the baseline to a project. you can then open that copy as a regular project and view logs, keeping your baseline in place.

is it possible to assign the activity change logs from your baseline activities – to your current project activities?
or can you view your baseline activity change logs after the baseline has been assigned to your current project?

sure. here are a few advantages:
1) using steps, you get columnar data. notebooks are just large text areas. so steps are more organized in a sense.
2) you can add customized udf columns here as well.

essentially the draw is that you have more organized data here than you would in a notebook, and you can print a report.

could you please point out the advantages of using steps instead of notebook? i would like to convince some guys around…

as you can see in the columns we chose, we left out the progressing columns – step % complete, step complete, and step weight. we have no need of them.

pampering the boss online – surefire way to job rentention. 🙂

this is my question too…i think you can leave it turned on, and simply do not check those completed boxes against change-related steps. right?

my two cents: is it really necessary to disable step progressing? i think that both the actual activity steps – if any (the ones that give % complete ) and the udf’s can work well each for it’s own purpose, as long as the udf’s will have step weight = 0.

ok, so that just cost me 5$!

glad everyone enjoyed it!
