Multiple Admins - Changing Multiple Reports

[jeffs42885]

Hi Folks,

Wondering if anyone has an idea / approach for this rather than just coordinating things, and breaking things up.

We have a bunch of new reports that need to be setup, but we are also doing development work and indexing changes in the process. Someone might be in PST, and someone might be overseas. We want to make sure that they are not working on the same report.

I know this sounds like project management 101, but is there any way that we can accomplish this with CMOD out of the box? I have personally never had to use a hold, but might this be a good idea while we are doing development, or am I totally off on that one.

Thanks in advance..

Jeff

Nope, if you're an administrator, you can do anything to anything.

What might be able to help you is the 'last updated' field in the admin client.  If something has changed in the last hour or so, then it's possible someone else is working on it. 

It also doesn't hurt to have a persistent chat 'room' open where people pop in and say "I'm building X" or "I'm fixing Y".  One of my old customers had an IT-departmental IRC server.  People would join and leave rooms on the server for different topics or trouble tickets.

Interesting. Thanks JD.

ooooo JD-- one quick one.

This is my first exposure to 9.0, where do I turn that feature on?

The last update field?  It should be a field that's automatically displayed in the admin client.  There's no switch for it.

Thank you JD. For some reason it was unchecked. It must have been part of the requirement before I joined the project.
