Hi,
today I’m going to explain purpose of the Rollup for Tasks in MS PROJECT 2019!
First I will create very simple Project:
As you can see, there is one Summary Task (Task S), two Sub-summary Tasks (Tasks S1 and S2) and six Tasks (T1 to T6). finally there are two milestones (MS).
Now I am going to select T1 and T2 and check Rollout option:
and I will get:
As you can see these Task are “rolled up” in the Summary Task S1, but not in Summary Task S. why? Because I unchecked this option for Summary Task S (which is, by default turned on for all summary and sub-summary tasks).
Now, I’m going to turn it on (in the same way as I did it with T1 and T2), and I will get:
This can be useful if you want to see Tasks on Summary Tasks. But, what if you want this for every single Task? should you turn this option on for every new Task? NO!
Here is how can you avoid this:
and I will get:
Wait? there are no Tasks shown! Well, that is because I select option: “Hide rollup bars when summary expanded”. So, if I now collapse summary Tasks I will get:
But if I always want Tasks to be shown on Summary Tasks, I will deselect this option and get:
So it’s up to you how (and if) you are going to show those “rollups”!
Regards!
