Re: RBS changes needed

Dave N --

Making the change is as simple as you describe. After doing so, you will
want to ask all of your project managers to open each project they manage
and to republish them using Collaborate - Publish - All Information. The
next time your OLAP cube rebuilds, you will see the new RBS structure
reflected in Portfolio Analyzer views. Hope this helps.

Depending on what changes you make to the RBS, you will probably need to
manually edit the RBS field for some resources, and perhaps for all. Hope
this helps.
