No outline levels from Project Online main project page?

I'm still relatively new to Project Online, but I have four projects I have showing on the project page of Project Online. Three from SharePoint task lists and one Enterprise Project. All I can see is the project name and related columns. If
I want to see anything "below" that (i.e., at various outline levels), the Outline command in the Projects ribbon doesn't do anything. Sure I can go to the individual project or SharePoint task list and see it there, but I thought in some
Microsoft video that from the projects page of Project Online I should be able to see more detail on each project.
So what's the scoop, oh experienced ones? Bug or feature? :)

Hi Cuttyson,
The Project Center page ("Project" link from the quick launch menu on the left part of the PWA page) only displays 1 row per project and there is no such a feature which allows developing a project from the project center. To do this, you have
to click on the project name and access all detail information about the project (or sharepoint list).
It has been like this since the first versions of Project Server's Web Application.
Hope this helps,

How to install Project Online and Project Pro for Office 365

Hello,
Can someone please explain where can I find reliable and exploitable step by step process to install
Project Online and Project Pro for Office 365. I tried for several weeks with no avail.
All the links I followed led to
an impasse.
Thanks for your help

WLID1966,
I am not sure if there is a step by step process detailed anywhere, but that possible because it is fairly easy to get started. The steps below may vary sligtly because I am using a preview version..
1) you would sign up for Project Pro for Office 365 from this link (or pursue through your organization) : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/enterprise-project-and-portfolio-management-subscription-project-online-with-project-pro-for-office-365-FX104002972.aspx
2) Once you are setup with Office 365 account and project online, you would go into the settings as shown below
3) Once you click on software, you should see the below, and then click Install to install Project Pro.

Can Project Lite be used with "Project Online with Project Pro for O365"

Hello MS Support,
I am aware that Project Lite does not functions as a stand alone, it either works with Project Online or Project Server. However, I wanted to check and be very sure before buying, if Project Lite will work equivalently well with "Project Online with
Project Pro for O365".
Project Lite:

Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365:

Prompt reply will be a great help.
Regards,
Urvashi

Urvashi:
Project Lite grants access to update timesheets and tasks only. You cannot use Project Pro to connect to Project Online with this license. Everyone who manages schedules using Project Professional or Project Pro for Office 365 must have a full license for
Project Online and a license for Project Pro. Project Lite is not a license that applies to on-premises installations. For that you acquire a different type of license.

When printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?

when printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?

This can happen when Firefox has misread the paper size from the information supplied by Windows. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_printer_name.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.

Paste Link 'Outline Level' from Excel into Project get error

I am trying to generate a MS Project schedule based on linked data in an Excel spreadsheet. I cannot get the summary project tasks to appear with their sub-tasks. When I try to paste link the Outline Level into Project, I get and error that states
"The paste link operation failed. You cannot paste into a field that project calculates automatically." However, I can manually type the Outline Level into the project and it changes the task-subtask relationships as it should. How can I get this
to work?

This error just means that you can’t paste a link just anywhere you like, just as you can’t type data into just any cell. change the excel data source schedule without calculate. see the link:

Project Online - offline project plan prompts for date range to be entered when accessing Resource Usage view

When I save a project plan to my local computer from Project Online and open it up in an offline mode and access Resource Usage view I get prompted with Date Range dialog boxes with the first one saying "Show resources/assignments that start or finish
after:" and the second one with "And before:".
I don't have any filters that are setup in Project Online that are not available in offline mode to trigger these prompts.
Please let me know what could be causing the date range prompts. Thanks.

Hi,
You probably retrieve an enterprise filter into your local file. Just open the organizer from MS Project, go to the filter tab (be sure to have your project selected in the drop down menu at the top left of right of the organizer) and delete the date range
filter.
Hope this helps,

Project Online and Project Lite Licenses Transferable?

I was wondering how the user licenses are handled when deactivating and reallocating. Are user licenses transferable for Project Online, Project Lite, and Project for O365?

Teddy,
It depends on how you are defining "Transferrability". As a bottom line, the number of "Active" users at any time, cannot be more than your licenses. And the license for each product are its own.
I am no licensing expert, and I suggest you talk to a Microsoft Rep for a concrete statement on the licenses.
Cheers,

Project working with Project Online in Office 365

Hello,
My question is related to project working and using Project Online to track projects.
* Can I use a single "Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365" subscription for tracking and creating reports about all project sites and their tasks in Office 365?
Meaning, if we have multiple projects designed in Project Pro and then uploaded directly to Office 365, can we gather the task, resource and progress information from these projects (created directly to Office 365) in a Project Online overview? One person
using Project Online to oversee multiple projects, others uploading their projects and changing task information in Office 365 to a SharePoint site with Project Pro and Office 365 subscriptions.
We want to have one person with Project Online overseeing the progress and create reports on all projects that have been uploaded to Office 365 (Project Portfolio Management), but not creating new projects. Is this possible with just one Project Online subscription?
The other users would all have an Office 365 Enterprise 3/4 subscription for accessing Office 365, collaborating and updating their tasks. Project managers would have a Project Pro subscription for creating and uploading projects to Office 365.
Thank you in advance.

Helen,
Your question is slightly confusing, so let me try and say it this way:
1) Your PMs (multiple) will use Project Pro, to create and publish plans to Project Online
2) You will have one user who will 'administer' Project Online and create reports etc.,
3) You will not have any other users access Project Online
4) I am not sure about you 'SharePoint' comment--so excluding this.
The problem is that, Project Pro+Office 365 does not necessarily give you access to Project Online. This combination is more useful when you are using just Project Pro or using project Pro to sync plans with Task lists on SharePoint Site. Plans that are
uploaded this way will NOT appear in Project Online. So, the person who has the Project Online license will not have any data to report on.
Having said that, here are few options:
1) Stick with Project Pro +Office 365. Team Members can access "Task" lists in SharePoint Sites. In this scenario, Reporting will be somewhat complex, because each site is its own, and you might have to customize to be able to report across multiple sites.
2) If you want an easier Project Portfolio Management, Project Online is better. However, in this case, your PMs need to get Project Online with
Project Pro for Office 365 which will allow them to publish plans to Project Online. Then your user with project Online license can generate reports for the portfolio easily. In this scenario, if you want team members to be able to submit timesheets,
work with documents etc., you might want to look into getting the Project Lite for them (http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/31/project-lite-may-1st/)
Hope it helps.

Project Online (PWA) Task Notes not visible

Hi,
Im using Microsoft Project 2013 Pro to manage projects.
Now i started to let my engineers use MS Project Online (Office365) to work on their tasks through PWA.
I have several projects created with tasks and on every task there is a Note with the description of the work that needs to be done.
My engineers dont use the Full version of MS Project 2013 and cant see these notes within the Web portal of Project Online (PWA).
Where can i find these notes online?
I tried to change the view but cant find any option to add the notes.
Opening a task doesnt give me the notes either.

Hello,
This is available in both Project Online and Project Server 2013 - this functionality is the same.
To update the PWA Project view, login as a user that has admin access to PWA and navigate to PWA Settings then Manage Views. Choose the view/s where you wish users to see the task notes and click it, this will take you to the view settings. You will see
a list of fields available. You will see "Notes" available in the list of fields.
On the Tasks page (accessible from the PWA Homepage - Tasks link on the quick launch or the Tasks tile), click the task name and scroll down the page, the notes will be near the bottom.

Project Online Resourcing

I am just playing with the trial version of Project Online and Project Pro. I want to assign roles to project tasks, but don't want to set up new users in the system so I can see what the different resourcing views can get me - how can I do that?

Reading "I type that resource name in the Assigned To box next to a task", I think
you don't have the right process for assigning a resource to a task. You have first to create your project team from the enterprise resource pool (assuming that your enterprise resources are correctly defined), then you'll choose for each task the resource(s)
you want to assign on the task from the project team you just built.
From the project center, select your project and navigate to the schedule page. Then ensure to edit the project plan in order to be able to modify it. Click on build team in the "project" tab of the ribbon.
In the "build team" interface, just select the resource you want to include in the project team and add them to the right part. Do not forget to save and close once done.
Finally for each task, click in the resource field and choose from the pickup list the resource(s) you want to assign to the task.
Do not forget to save and publish the project plan not to loose your edits.
Hope this helps.

Project on demand/click to run not working in Project Online

Do I need to do anything special to allow the click to run functionality in Project Online to work? Or does it not work for Project Online?
We have a Project Online trial, but when the users who do not have Project Pro on their desktops, try to select Edit the project in Project Pro, they get an error saying that Project Pro needs to be installed first.
I would have expected click to run to download it.
I feel I may be missing something basic here.
Any advice please?
Ryan

Project Online in itself is not sufficient. You need Project Online with Project Pro for 0365, or another Office 0365 sku that includes Project Pro.
Assuming you have either of these, then the admin has to assign the Project Pro licence to the user (admin | users and groups)

Project Online 2013 Licenses/Subscription

I am actually new to the Project Online 2013 ( not the project server ) So have a question regarding the correct subscription for my users.
A bit background, we are trying to implement a Project Portfolio Management solution at our organization and we are researching to see if Project Online is a good fit.
I currently brought Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365
which has the following licenses
1) Project Pro for Office 365
2) Project Online
3) Office Online
4) SharePoint Online ( plan 2)
I got 4 user licenses for the above subscription where the Users have access to PWA and can create projects and do stuff.
We are planning on implementing it as an integration of SharePoint Online & Project. So now we are having our other team members who not PM's or Portfolio Managers who needs access and I am not sure what license to buy for them.
1) SharePoint Online (Stand alone) : If they will be just working on the project sites / Team sites Do I need to get SharePoint Online Subscription so that they can have access to the tasks.
2) Project Lite : If I get this license will my team members be able to access the PWA and even the SharePoint online sites, Will it cover both the options of Enterprise Project Types & SharePoint Task List Project Types.
I think I should go with option 2 of buying Project Lite for my Team Members but wanted to make sure if this is the right Subscription to buy.
Can anyone help me with this?? I tried contacting Microsoft Support through phone but they weren't able to help me or they created a ticket and I am waiting on their specialist to contact me.
But any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
For the Team Members to access the Project Sites and certain pages in PWA (Timesheets / Tasks etc.) the Project Lite license will be fine. See the links below for details:

Project Pro 2013 with Project online

I want to confirm that Project Pro 2013 can connect to Project online in the same way that Project Pro for O365 does. In other words, is it largely a licensing difference in the way the two products are licensed?

Hi,
See my reply about a similar concern:
