Hi, Alice/Amber. Maybe somebody will have a more clever suggestion than me but I cannot imagine a way to select projects that have no starred child.
On the other hand you say that viewing starred items shows you the *latest* status for a project. Does that suggest that when you drag a message from Outlook to MLO and star it you are also clearing the star on the previous status? Because if so, I would suggest that when you create a new project you also create a new, starred, task that says “no status updates yet”. You could create a filter to select tasks that are (still) starred called “no status update yet” to check for projects that may need intervention. When an update appears in Outlook and you drag it to MLO and star it, you would (presumably) be clearing to star from the prior status. Being unstarred now, the “no status” message would not appear in the view any more. Does this sound useful? -Dwight From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of TotheMoonAlice Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 7:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MLO] Is this View Possible? I use MLO to manage all of my work projects and as an adjunct to Outlook -- meaning I drag all project-pertinent emails into MLO which create tasks of them. I star the task objects (that are really emails) that show the latest status for each project, so I can view my starred items to get an overview on the latest status for all of my projects. I'm able to create a view that shows only the starred items for each project, but I'd love a view that also show what projects I don't have a starred item for -- to give me an idea of what projects I could take action on to at least ensure that I've hit the ball to someone else and that the project is not waiting on me. Is this kind of view possible, or would you recommend handling "status update" tasks differently?
