Create template for a task in Project Server 2013

Hi everyone,
I've got a little question, yes, again :-)
Some user of Project Server haven't scheduled tasks, so they need to create their tasks by the "My Tasks" page, "Add a row" then "Add a new task".
Unfortunatly, these users create a lot of little tasks but which are the same excepted for an information (like number of the bug ticket) and my bosses want to create a template of a task for create this kind of tasks very quickly but I do not find a way to
do that.
Is it possible with Project Server to do something like this ?
Thanks to you,
Patmol

Patmol6 --
There is no default functionality in Project Server 2013 that would allow a team member to create a new task from some kind of custom template.  It MIGHT be possible through custom software development, however.  Hope this helps.

  • How to handle PSW approval task in project server 2013 through declarative workflow VS 2013

    Hello,
    Plz explain in detail handling PSW approval task in project server 2013 through declarative workflow VS 2013
    bcoz when using am posted on with this error when i try to approve the item
     "This list item  has not been created by the workflow.you cannot apply this content type"
    any help would be appreciated!!!!
    Thanks regards, Vignesh.

    I am also experiencing issues with this.  After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
    RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
    at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
    bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
    All other desired workflow actions work as expected.  Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
    workflow fails.
    What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
    not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
    Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

  • Access permission to the Project server workflow tasks in project server 2013.

    Hi All,
    I am creating an OOB Project server workflow, where it contains few phases and each phases have some stages, there are few approval levels of the workflow. 
    Scenario - 1st stage - when project is submitted, a task is assigned to resource, when the resource click on the task link provided in mail, it redirects to the project server workflow task list.
    1) When users view the task list, for all user the delete Item and approve button is enabled even we have given permission as edit,view permission in sharepoint group for that user.
    2) Task list should be viewable by specific user but in my case even after giving the permission it can be apporved by any one who is not authorised also.
    3)  then i tried below things
    1. deleted the user in pwa
    2. deleted the user in sharepoint site.
    even after doing the above, the user able to do all activity in the stie content page, have access to the sharepoint portal. how this is possible?
    When checked with not existing user permission there are few defalut permission set for that user after AD sync. because of this he as access, even if he is not in pwa or in sharepoint site. how to retrict this?
    Can anyone faced the same issue?
    How to fix this permission issue?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Selectively publish and/or approve certain tasks in Project Server 2013

    hello forum members,
    is there a way in Project Server to selectively publish and /or approve certain tasks?  for example - publish all tasks with new actual. Also, is there a way to auto-publish and not wait until project managers publish their updates?

    It is in the approval center, you'll find the "manage rules" button.

  • 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.

  • Creating Task in a Project of Project Server 2013 - Exchange 2013

    Hi,
    We have made an integration between Project Server 2013 and Exchange 2013 for the tasks of user.
    It's working fine but I've got a little question. Is it possible from Exchange to create a task in a specific project of Project Server ? Because when I create a task, even if I'm in the Exchange folder of the project, the task is created as a Personal Task.
    So, how can I, with Exchange, specify where I want to create my task ?
    Thanks,
    Patmol

    Hello Patmol,
    I was able to reproduce it. Any tasks added in exchange folder get added as personal task. This turned out to be the design behavior. A Task created in Exchange is considered to be a personal task. It can be added to the project plan from personal task by
    clicking on it and then selecting the Project Name.
    There is document which contains information on "My Tasks Aggregation in SharePoint Server and Exchange Task Integration". You can download it using below link

    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?
    Cheers!

  • Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

    Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
    I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
    I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
    As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
    AM* still isn't filled.
    If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
    Some tests I have already done:
    I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
    I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
    What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

    Hi Gary,
    Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
    situation at hand.
    It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
    that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
    Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.

  • How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

    How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any. 
    Thanks
    James T.F

    Hi James,
    See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
    Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
    his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
    Hope this helps,

  • 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.
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    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,

  • Custom Column for Project Code Number & Search Box to search Content in Project Server 2013

    Hi all,
    I want to add a custom column in Project Center view for showing some Numerical Projects codes like 4523, 5248,8956 like that... Each code will represent Project assigned with that code in Project Server 2013. Also let me now if i can add some search box
    in Project Center page through which i can search Project Code or Project Name. Currently, provided search bar not working in Project Server 2013.
    Need it urgent..Kindly help

    Hi,
    If you want to add this column in a project center view, be careful to choose a project view in the "manage views" views' list. Also it must be a project custom field and not a task field. As Paul said, we assume that the field with the code exists
    and has been previousky created by you.
