Project Management - Project Started by InfoPath Form

Hi, I'm struggling to figure out how best to use SharePoint 2010's project management under the scenario below. Any input would be appreciated.
An InfoPath form is submitted to a library. The form has 5 possible choices in any combination. Under each choice would be a separate project/workflow of tasks. They fill out who is assigned and what is the due date for each task on the
form.
Every time a form is submitted, new project(s) with specific tasks are created and assigned to whomever was chosen on the form. (I've no idea how that happens, but that's where I'm trying to get to)
EDIT: Maybe it's just a task list and workflows create all the tasks. Each task would depend on the previous task being completed before being started (predecessors). Can you create a template of this and just change the assigned to and
due dates?
Any direction or pointers would be helpful.
Thank you!

Hi Nalani, you're right on your second thought. You'll need to accomplish this through the use of workflows. See the following link for details:

Hello ,
I am trying to access the data from the Database in infopath form through Retrive Data connection. but I am getting an error like
"A query to retrieve form data cannot be completed because this action would

If this form template is published to

be enabled under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Central Administration,
and the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file in a data

If this is an

to full trust, or the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file by
using the Manage data connection files option under InfoPath Forms Services in

Concurrent Manager not started after Clonning - Forms not showing

Hi,
I have cloned PROD system into a TEST system using Rapid Clone.
After I started TEST services, I log into application but OracleForms are not working. When I click on a function which calls a selfservice form, it works well, but when the function calls an Oracle form, the Forms Environment is opened but there is only "Window" menu (which contains "tile", "cascade", etc).
The same situation even when I open directly from http://apptest.rmis:8000/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe.
Also Concurrent Manager service is not started. I deleted and recreated it, ran autoconfig, but the problem still persist.
Please help me to solve the issue.
Thank you.

No search result using managed property from a column of a published infopath form

Hi,
I'm trying to use a managed property in the advanced search to retrieve only words from a column of a published InfoPath form. We are using FAST Search and verify that the column are being crawled by checking the crawled property in Central Admin but still
cannot retrieve search result for the managed property. We also do a full crawl before testing the search. Thank you..

Hi Rommel,
When we create a column from a list (not site column), then we need create list item with this column value, then we need to full crawl, then the the crawled propery ows_listColumnName will be generated, then create a managed property to map this
crawled property(start a full crawl again if needed), then add the custom managed property in advance search web part property, then check again.
Here is an article about how to add the custom managed proerpty in advanced search web part, you can take a look.

Can't reset project start point

I decided to add a four bar introduction to a song in logic, and dragged the 'project start' point back to -3 bars. Then I realised when I bounced, it began from 0, so I just selected all and moved everything forward four bars.
Now, I know I could have used cycle to set my own start and end points for the bounce, but now that I have everything starting at 0, why can I not bring back the project start point to 0? It stays at -3, and I hate having to wait 4 bars for my song to start after I hit O to play the song from the top.
Can anyone help? Many, many thanks if possible. I'm extremely frustrated!

Because there maybe is Automation happening before the 1 1 1 1 point. So open any Automation event list with a Keycommand - hit command+1 - a new Arrange page opens displaying the Automation regions - cut those regions at 1 1 1 1 with the scissor tool or by selecting them all and using the Keycommand for "cut at playhead position" and then delete everything before 1 1 1 1.

Project started from past

Dear all,
Could you help me on the following question?
Generally speaking, the start date of the project is today.
Now, my project started more than one year ago.
Although I set the start date of the project in 2006, the basic time of the network and activities still starts from today.
How can I make the activities and network start from 2006? How should I configure the scheduling? Please give me some clues.
Thanks a lot.
Judy

In Planning Board under Settings->options, set "Start in the past" greater than 365 and run scheduling. When this entry is blank system rum todays schedule and reset the date to current date.

I can't not set Poject Start Point, as described on p 151 of manual. "You can move the project start point to an earlier position" . Can anyone do this?

I'm unable to change the Project Start Point. ( I can change the end point easily)
On page 151 of the manual it states:
"You can move the project start point to an earlier position..."
I can't find a way to do it. Are other able to change it. If so, please explain the procedure.

Mmmmm,…..I just noticed this as well…….
Anyway, try this:
For the sake of this demonstration start a new project.
Click the mouse pointer on the playhead in the ruler,
now the project start indicator should appear, hover the mouse pointer above it until this indicator appears,
when you see it left click, hold and scroll to the left.
Good luck!

Unable to Change Project Start Date in Project Server 2013

Dear All,
I have created new EPT in Project Server 2013. After that, when i am creating any new project in PWA 2013 by using newly created EPT, then i am not able to change Date as per my requirement.
Basically, EPT created on 02/18/2015 & even though i am changing Project start date then its again showing same date (02/18/2015)
Kindly suggest what i can do.

Hello,
Does this new EPT have a project plan template associated? What happens if you set the EPT not to have a plan template then create a new project from this EPT? Does that let you update the start date? The start date should default to today (date the project
plan was created). If that works as expected, add the plan template back to the EPT (if you had one to start with) and test creating another project to see if that then works or you then get the same behaviour. This will point us to the cause hopefully.
Do other EPTs work as expected?

I don't have a project start arrow - can only slide the project end arrow.

I don't know if there is a simple solution, but I haven't been able to locate the project start adjustable arrow anywhere. So it's locked at 1.1.1.1 but I can adjust the end.

I seem to have found the solution...checking the Show Advanced Tools under general allows you to affect project starting.

Project Start Date – modification after project was saved.

I created new project with a start date 01/April/2015 and saved it. Next, I change the start date to 14/April/2015 in the setup.
However still in statistics windows I see the start date as 01/April/2015. Additionally, every new task has start date 01/April/2015.
Could you please advise me how can I change that?

MS Project Standard 2013

Thank you for your prompt reply.
1.Firstly I set up project start date as 01/04/2015 in Project, Project Information and in File, Project Information and save document.
2. Afterwards, I modified start date into 14/04/2015 in the same places.
However, the date in Project, Project Information - Statistics was still 01/04/2015 (please check screenshot).
3. But finally, after several openings and closing of the document the date in Statistics is correct (hard to say what is the reason).

Project Start and End Features - Can Captivate Phone Home and Expire ?

Hi,
I am looking at selling a course which the client will host for a limited time
We want the course to expire and we would like to receive anonymous user data back with their permission.
Send data back to use : Phoning home
I was looking at the Project->start and end-> Project end options-> execute javascript
With our clients permission could we use this to open a URL and phone home or would we crash into a firewall and burst into flames ?
Why ?
============
We want to monitor anonymous data such as time on course , score and number of users to improve the course for all customers.
My other thought was to use this widget
http://captivatedev.com/shop/adobe-captivate-6-x-google-lms-widget-with-email-reporting/
Maybe I can run this at the same time as my customers normal LMS
Expire
I was looking at the Project->start and end-> Project expiry date.
Is this relatively secure and stable ?
Our other alternative was to throw a widget in which said this course has expired
Or could I have the course check a website to confirm the course is licensed ?
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated

Hi Rod,
Thank-you for your reply from Western Australia ( which I just realized is the closest point to Madagascar and King Julian)
I like the graphs on A3C but
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/06/course-companion-for-adobe-captivate-6.html
- I couldn't work out how to get the A3C viewer to it display more than the first 20 pages.
- it had a 3 month limit on the course based on an Adobe comment on the blog
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/06/course-companion-for-adobe-captivate-6.html
- I wasn't sure whether the reporting works with advanced actions because some of the reports run on item name
- Nobody seems to be commenting on it on the forums :-)
- There was a distraction % on the table which I couldn't work out what it was
- it was unclear what port had to be open for the A3C communication

Actvities before the Project Start Date

Every now & then, we will get an activity which is a precursor to a project kicking off as a project start date so in theory from that start date would be known as either week 1 or Month 1.
So in this case, any actvivity starting a month for example before the kick off date should be shown in "- Month 1" but in Project 2013, it takes this new date as Month 1 even when the Project Start Date has not changed.
The earlier versions of Project, you could manipulate this so what's changed?...Is there a way around this?
I am not using Project server as will never use it to save myself from grief & stress!...prefer to keep it simple!

I couldn't test it with 2013 but with 2010 the week numbering starts at the project start date, so you can have a project start date on a certain date which will be your week1, and then set predecessors with no impact on the numbering.
If you confirm that this behavior jas changed with 2013 version, an option could be to enter as manually scheduled tasks with no dates the tasks prior to the project start date, using custom fields to enter the actual dates.
Hope this helps,

Help scheduling tasks from both project start date and from later deliverable dates

I am trying to set up a project scheduling template for a number of similar projects.
These projects will require initial work to be completed at the project start date, working through the critical path to an end date.
However. Certain milestones/deliverables are required on specific dates in teh project (they are recievable by internal customers on firm dates). I am having trouble scheduling my predecessors for these deliverables to occur as late as possible.
I.e. I want my procurement to start x-weeks (depending on the task) before the deliverable is due.
Trying to manually set the deliverable date and hoping project will work back and adjust the predecessors to fit isnt quite working... is this possible?
Im using MSP2010 standard

nategalambos,
Actually this is probably a very common scheduling scenario. Schedules often have interim milestones, sometimes with fixed dates.
Just-in-time scheduling has received a fair amount of press in the past but in my view it has some very real negative downsides. I believe the best plans have contingency built in to allow for unknown problems. For example, let's say you have a task that
must deliver an item on a particular date and in order to build that item you need to order material. You know the built and test time, it's all done by machine, takes 10 days, and doesn't vary from item to item. The lead time for the material is 6 weeks,
so you set up the schedule to place the material order 8 weeks before the delivery date. However, there is a problem, the vendor who supplies the material has a problem at his factory and the material is delayed such that it won't be delivered in 6 weeks but
instead it will take 8 weeks. Because you have not allowed for contingency in your plan, your delivery date is now in jeopardy.
But to answer your question, one way to set up the predecessor you want is as follows. Using my example above, the Place Order task, let's say the delivery date task is task ID 5 and is a milestone. The place order task could have a predecessor of 5SF-40d,
or 5FS-40d will also work if the place order task and the delivery date are both milestones.
Hope this helps.
