AMS Confirms Compatibility with Microsoft
Project 2002 |
 |
In line with our long established history of compatibility with
Microsoft Project, AMS confirm the continuation of this capability
with Microsoft Project 2002.
The toughest challenge facing organisations using Microsoft
Project is to get an accurate picture of where resources are being
used and what the capacity is to take on new work.
The AMS REALTIME Enterprise Solution addresses this with the
unique AMS REALTIME Workforce Browser and our status and commit
features.
The Workforce Browser enables Microsoft Project users to query
and select resources from a centrally maintained database.
Integration with AMS REALTIME Resources and AMS REALTIME Solo, our
Resource Management and Time-Recording tools, facilitates the
tracking and progressing of Microsoft Project plans and
cross-project resource management.

I didn't know you could do that! |
 |
We've gathered a list of some useful features that you may not know
about. For example:
Cost Reporting in AMS REALTIME Resources- In the latest
maintenance build of AMS REALTIME Resources (build 180 onwards),
time-phased cost reporting has been introduced for the AMS REALTIME
Resources reporting system. The cost reporting functionality enables
users to use the aggregation features of the reporting tool to
produce time-phased costs (actual/etc), as well as the traditional
planned and actual/etc usage figures. These new cost features work
on existing reports without the need of any re-writing. Reports can
also be saved with the Cost option as the default. To find out more,
please speak to our support staff.
Report display units - If you would prefer the AMS
REALTIME Resources reporting system to display usage figures as days
rather than the default hours, then set the AMS REALTIME Resources
client configuration switch 'REPORTDISPLAYUNITS' to 1. Other values
include 0 for hours (default), 2 = weeks, 3 = months and
4 = hours/minutes.
Sending SMS messages - With the continuing development of
the AMS Python menu scripts, AMS staff have successfully developed a
script which allows employees to be sent SMS text messages when they
are assigned to project tasks. This is a development of the existing
automatic email script. To find out more please speak to our support
staff.
