Some things that were in the results I can think could cause circular reference But as you and others have seen that is not the case. That would lead you to believe that if you can save you are OK. When you try to create something in OWB which creates a circular reference OWB give you the error and you cannot save.

Some people have even posted the proprietary Niku code where the error is thrown. On first page it shows three pages of results on second page it only shows two pages of resultsĬircular reference seems to be a general message and appear also in various versions of MS Project. “Circular reference” “Open Workbench” returns all kinds of things “Circular reference” “Open Workbench” OWB returns something This is a learning experience with search.Ĭircular reference Open Workbench OWB does not return anything meaningful. The thing is that OWB is not the best tool for scheduling appointment like taks. You may want to schedule items where the durations are less than a day and call that a project. The displays will have them such tasks occur on the same day if you have not selected the option start the successor the next day. That is different from the resource effort assigned to the task which can be as the Gantt guy says seconds. OWB is designed so that the minimum duration of a task can be one day. You can argue that the duration of a task can be less than a day. Generally a task in a project is some 40 hours of effort, maybe some more or some less. If you don’t have the prequisites, single start and end, dependencies between tasks to determine sequency, effort defined on the resource assignments to tasks OWB simply can’t do all of those calculations and the result is not a perfect schedule. Next calculation is to remove overallocation of resources from initially simultaneous tasks and gives the resource critical path. Calculating forward pass from a single starting point to a single end point and then backward pass gives the critical path. Autoschedule calculates task durations based on the resource effort assigned to them. OWB is suited for resource management type of project management. The lack of a reporting capability is definitely one of the key failings of Open Workbench! After running my macro across the Excel file above, I get this:Īnyway, I hope this helps and maybe removes some frustration. Step through the code to see how it works. This File contains a simple macro I wrote that will do the job, although you’ll need to play with it a bit to make it bullet-proof. If you are experienced with Macros in Excel, you can use VBA to automate the process. You can now go through and fix up the notes. Expanding the columns so the information is visible, you get this: You’ll notice I’ve pasted it into Row 2, so I can enter Field Names into Row 1 (if you’re going to use the Excel for a report). As you can see from the image below, it pastes a little ‘hokey’ over multiple lines (rows 4, 5 and 6 in the Excel). You can then paste into Excel, and the entire Note Text (not just the first row) will paste. Once you’re happy with the fields displaying in your View, select the rows you want to copy (using the Row Selector at the left of the window), and copy (Ctrl-C, or right-click –> Copy). The comment you see in your View will also change to reflect the update:

As you can see from the image below, I’ve added an update to my original note:
The note that appears in the picture above actually comprises two lines, as shown in the image of the Notes Dialog Box below:īy the way, you can edit a single note if you want to use the technique below to show (for example) a comments history. Note, only the first line of the latest note appears. I recommend adding the Note Text field as the very last column in the View. In the image below, I’ve used the standard Gantt Chart, and added the Note Text field into it. You shouldn’t need to tie yourself up in knots with XML, Joe.įirst, format a View with the columns you want to see.
