Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view.  Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online.  And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id. 
Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly).  Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Spiro,
1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
Hope this helps,

  • Need to create a TASKS page with a filter default in PWA Project Server 2013 (Online)

    Never done this so, I am wondering How to go about or what I would need to create a simple PWA page like "Tasks" in Project Server 2013 online where it default to a filter that is set to not equal to the user that is logged on?
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Hi Spiro,
    The "my tasks" page or "my timesheet" are automatically filtered on the user currently connected. Unless you are using workarounds such as status manager or delegation, I see no way to bypass this.

  • How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

    Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
    My questions are as follows:
    I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder.  I have English and French users in our environment.  Do I need save them twice?  Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
     Likewise for the Excel file? 
    How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel?  By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder.  I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
    folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
    FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
    https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
    https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram

    Thanks in advance,
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Thank you Guilaume.  May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me?  If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)?  Or does
    that defeat the purpose?  Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA?  Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
    French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
    I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc).  As you can see I am a bit confused.
     Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

    I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

    UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
    So I am just even more confused now.

    iCloud should still help you reduce some hard drive space. Just select "optimize" in the icloud tab in Mac Photo App preferences.
    Granted, not the same as completely offloading your library to a back-up drive at your location.
    Good Luck!

  • Error while creating a Timesheet - Project Server 2013

    Hi everyone,
    One of user of PWA encounters an issue when he tries to create a timesheet. This error only occurs with a timesheet of
    a specific period, he can create all the other timesheet.
    So, when he creates the timesheet, this error occurs : "The timesheet creation failed, because of problems with Project Web App or with data validations"
    After reloaded the list of the timesheets, a link to go to the specific timesheet
    is available but if we click on it, we have this error :
    "View Failue - The view failed to load"
    I think , this error occurs
    because the timesheet is not realy existing even if we have a link to it.
    In the log (full log at the end), I've got this error :
    Exception occured in method 'TimeSheet.CreateTimesheet' System.ArgumentException: These columns don't currently have unique values.
    I've found this link with the same kind of problem :

  • Project Server 2013 - User cannot create or see his timesheet

    Hi everyone,
    One of my project server user has a little problem with his timesheet.
    When he try to create a timesheet, he has an error message :
    "Sorry ... We can not create the timesheet, because we have encounter a problem with Project Web App or with the data validations,
    especially resources who are users or work resources invalid. Please check
    your environment and try again."
    Or with timesheet which was create before encounter this error, he has this message :
    "Failed while loading the view. Press OK to reload this view with default parameters. Press Cancel to sélect an other view."
    I'd try to check every project where he is as a resource but I didn't found something wrong.
    Maybe it's because one of the custom field is required but other user have no problem to create and view their own timesheet.
    If you have any idea to help me.
    Thanks,
    Patmol

    Please be sure about the permission required for users. If your users are having permission then Check URl which is talking about your issue which is common in PWA 2013

    Cause of the issue
    Run the Sql
    Profiler 
    The timesheet contained two tasks were the value of ASSN_ACT_WORK was NULL instead of 0.00000.
    This caused the System.InvalidCastException in the ULS log and the user error the view failed to load. 
    Remove this kind of entry then you will not face the issue

  • Error creating Project Server 2013 Server Side Event Handlers

    Hi,
    I have created a WCF service and deployed it successfully.  Now when trying to add a new event receiver for Project CheckIn event, nothing happens.  Checking the service using Services panel, it shows Microsoft Project Server Events Service 2013
    is started.  I check the ULS logs and see exception:
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Could not find stored procedure 'pub.MSP_ADMIN_SetEventReceivers15RTM'
    I have service pack 1 installed for Project Server and SharePoint, version 15.0.4571.1502.  Any ideas?  I see there is a stored procedure without '15RTM' suffixed in PWA database.  I read another post on the forum relating to this same issue
    but didn't want to create each additional item in the DB (table, data type, stored procedure, etc).  Am I missing something?  Looking for suggestions here.  Your help is always appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Gokulraj,
    What permission mode are you using in project server 2013? Is it "project permissions mode" or "SharePoint permissions mode"?
    If you are using "project permissions mode", then go to Server Settings -> Manage users and click on the user with "team member" permissions to edit.
    In the next page, expand "Global Permissions" and "View Approval" permission.
    It could be the issue with the categories and category level permissions.
    Happy troubleshooting...

  • Project Serial Number column in Project Server 2013 (PWA)

    Hi All,
    Whenever any new projects are created on Project Server 2013, they are arranged automatically by Alphabetical order. So i would like to know or need support through which i can create serial number column in Project Center so that projects are aligned. as
    per numbers.
    Kindly help..

    Hi,
    It is actually 2 questions. 
    First you want to create a unique ID for projects? Here is an excellent
    blog about this subject.
    Then you want to sort projects along a number? It could be a custom number field or the unique ID above. You just have to go to the server settings, manage views and go to the "sort by" section and select your number field.
    Note that the field used to sort the project center view must be in the view to be used as a sorting criteria.
    Hope this helps,

  • Project Server 2013 - Cannot see project schedule in PWA

    Project Server 2013 and Project Pro 2013
    I have admin authority but for some of the projects loaded to the server, and published, i cannot see the Schedule option in the left frame. At least on project has this option available but several others do not. For the projects where I can't see the schedules:
    - Some of these projects were created with imported MPP files from Project 2010, and imported using the wizard,
    - Some were created with imported XML files from Project 2010, and imported using the wizard
    - Some were created with Project Pro 2013 and saved, published to the P13 server.
    Are there some obvious things that I should check as a new admin to this version of Project Server? I'm stumped.
    For all of the above projects (with the issue or not) I can succesfully see everything in Project Professional 2013, and everything seems to function normally in the publish process.

    Hi,
    the first thing to check would be the EPT (Enterprise Project Type) of those projects. Go to server settings, Enterprise Project Types, select the appropriate project type and ensure that the Schedule page is on the left side of the section "New Project
    Page/Project Detail Pages".
    Hope this helps,

    Damon,
    Navigate to Project Web App>>PWA Settings
    Select Enterprise Project types option from "Workflow and Project Details Pages" section
    Validate "available project details page section" by default schedule and project details should be selected in right hand side column, if it is not then add these two pages and click save.

    Also, after you provisioned PWA, are you able to get to the server settings? Did you do any configurations with PWA or using the defaults?
    Are you trying to add the project using the FarmAdmin account or did you add yourself as a resource with project manager role?

  • SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

    Hi there,
    Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
    Thanks,

    Hi，
    Per my knowledge,
    it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
    You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
    Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

  • When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013.  I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can
    click and see the schedule.  However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:
    'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'
    At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message.  At this point, I am no longer able to look
    at the schedule of the project either.  Can someone assist with this issue?
