Hi,
I started to develop simple business administration tools based upon excel. The first tool allows creating users from an excel sheet :

It's a very tiny piece of software wrote in VBa and using the innovator web services. I'll develop another tools to manage projects or documents, for example.

I have a question : in a project, I want to declare several people for one role. For example, John and Peter are CAD designers. But in the standard data model, I think I can't declare two people for one role. The rule seems to be : one role = one people.
How to declare several people for one project role ?Is it possible ?
Regards,

Innvator is strongly influenced by CMII, and the theory is a single person owns and activity or deliverable.
At my last company we had a customization written to do something similar to what you are proposing.
In the current Program Management Solution, the Role is a list item. When a project is created from a template, the value of that item is put into the role field of the project instance. Any unique roles show up on the team tab. You can then select an identity to associate with that role on the team tab. When the project is save, the identity gets copied onto the activity leader field. One solution is to create an identity called CAD Designers, containing John and Peter. Then modify the project item so instead of containing the project role list, it contains an identity selection. You would still need to have one leader on the activtity, but, the group that you want to own the role would be contained in the identity.
Hope that's clear.
Tom
