    Task usage labour cost

    Yes I did It's not the end of the world though. I would of liked a column showing labour costs for the various tasks. Would it make a difference if I added the materials as sub tasks, if that's possible.

    Task usage labour cost

    Thanks, I've customized a resource usage view to show a breakdown of materials and labour but I mostly work with the task usage view. The time line on the right is used for adding work hrs. I even print off a copy of the time line prior to commencing the contract as a sort of work sheet, and I...

    Task usage labour cost

    Thanks for the help but it doesn't really give me the desired data. When I create a task e.g. Fit shower enclosure. I add resources ian, and Jamie say 4 hrs each. They are a work type and their rate was added when creating the resource. I then add resource shower enclosure that is a material...

    Task usage labour cost

    I managed to add the group. What I'm looking for though is in the task view is there a column I can insert that will give me a total for the labour costs and one for materials cost.

    Task usage labour cost

    Adding task baselines to an existing baseline.

    Think I need a more up to date package of projects. What would people recommend, and is ms projects the best for a small business. Think the standard would be sufficient?

    Adding task baselines to an existing baseline.

    Using projects with iPad

    Yes I thought this was the only answer. There is 3 rd party apps that let you view. Some you have to change projects by putting them in dropbox. But none have the facilities I'd be looking for as yet.

    Using projects with iPad

    Does anyone know or could recommend a good app to use ms projects on my iPad whilst at work. I have documents to go but that is not comparable like it is with other MS programmes. Anyone else figured out a way around this problem

    Adding task baselines to an existing baseline.

    My mistake, it's in the task usage right hand pane.

    Adding task baselines to an existing baseline.

    I tried what you said but I still have to zero the hrs for the employees before I start the contract and then add the real hrs they spend on a task. My quote (bid)is built up by the amount of hrs I think a particular tradesman spends on a task and the materials I think they'll use. I also add...

    Sub Projects Failure to EXPAND in Master Project

    I have 2007 and on my master project I can only view the projects if I have the individual projects open. Is this the same with your master project. Also is this normal.

    Adding task baselines to an existing baseline.

    Thanks for your help. After reading your response several time I think I understand. That sounds like a plan. I will have a go with a contract I'm due to start on Monday.

    Adding task baselines to an existing baseline.

    Yes the new added tasks do increase the final bill. The quote is submitted at the cost shown for the initial baseline as the contract moves on extras always arise. This is where I add the extra tasks. I am open to any tips, but the language that ms projects uses can be a bit confusing to me.
