Report group &v1& is assigned to the Project System (PS).

System Response

You cannot use this report group to generate evalations using
worklists.

How to fix this error?

Note also that the report groups assigned to PS cannot, as a rule, be
used for worklists. Report Writer reports are assigned to applications
in the header information of the relevant library. The project reports
delivered in the standard for library 6P3 are assigned to PS and
cannot, therefore, be used for worklists.
If you do not want to create reports of your own using the Report
Painter or Report Writer, you can use the standard report groups 6SM1
for orders or 6SM2 for projects. These groups are delivered in the
standard.
