Project Manager unable to edit project in PWA
I have a project manager(PMa) who can not edit "Some" projects in the PWA. PMb has had no issues editing projects.
PMa is a new employee and the account was created in January. PMb has been a PM since we first implemented Prj Server 2010.
PMa and PMb have the same permissions set:
Available Groups: IT Manager, Porfolio Managers, Project Managers, Resource Managers and team members.
The categories are "My Organization"
None of the templates have "Deny" set for any of the persmissions
We have 2 servers, a production server and a test server.
Production Version: 14.0.6209.1000
Test Version (Upgraded this morning to SP2): 14.0.7015.1000
PMa is having the same issues on both servers, and using different computers.
I am suspecting account corruption, is there a way to verify? If it is corrupted, how to fix.

Hi Darcy,
When you say that PMa cannot edit some projects in PWA:
does that mean that he can edit the project in MS Project Pro?
what is the behavior in PWA? Any error message? The "Edit" button is greyed out?
Have you ask PMa to connect from another machine? Also try to run a delegation session for PMa and check if you can edit the projects from this delegation session.
Hope this helps.

Editing Working Days/Non Working Days in the base Project Calendar PWA
Hello Experts,
I am attempting to edit working days/non working days in the base project calendar PWA 13. I receive an error message when I attempt to open the base project schedule.
I click the "edit" button under "Enterprise Calendars" page. The error message states:
"This Project Web App feature requires at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0" (using Chrome)
Attempting to Opening PWA in I.E. I receive a different error message stating that I need Project Professional installed on my computer and it cannot find the current project.
I have Admin rights, I have project pro, and Im able to access any project or function using PWA and Project Pro. Can you tell me what I am missing (detailed steps--kinda new to PWA)
Thanks so much.If you allow me to jump in, I'd advice you to first open MS Project Pro and then try again.
Also check that your MS Project Pro URL account do not finish with /default.aspx.
Finally ensure that your PWA URL is in the trusted site and eventually add it to the compatibility sites.
Hope this helps,

Captivate 4-Unable to Edit or Save a Project
Hi,
I am creating a CBT using Captivate 4. There are two slides so far and the size of the project is 1,901 kb. One slide in the project has six click boxes with multiple actions and has five animations included in it which are hidden until the user clicks a click box. The concept works wonderfully, however, I am now unable to edit or save the project. I cannot finish it at this point. Captivate will not allow me to add any additional buttons, click boxes, highlight boxes, new slides and so on. It also will not allow me to delete any unused items from the library, or save the edits I made up to that point.
I have tried the following, closing the project, closing Captivate and restarting my computer. I have also imported the slides into a new project with the same outcome. I have copied and pasted the slides into a new project with the same outcome. I have also tried to do a save as and it will not allow that either. There are no error messages. The project is not save on the network, it is on my C:Drive. I have had to restart the project several times and has this happened with each project. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wendyclick on the folder containing all these documents and do the following:
Right click on the folder, then select "Get Info"
Click the lock at the bottom to give yourself access to the permissions settings for this folder. A dialog will appear so you can enter your login name and password:
Now select your user name at the bottom (mine is wayne), set the read write permissions to "Read & Write" using the pop-up menu, then click the sprocket at the very bottom of the window and select "Apply to enclosed items..." from the pop-up menu. The click the lock again.
Now try to open your Numbers documents -
Unable to make master project containing sub-projects using Project Online PWA (Cloud)
Can anybody help? I tried a lot of navigations in Project Online PWA (not project server) but still unable to make master project containing sub-projects using Project Online PWA (Cloud)
Hi John,
It isn't possible to do this in the Project Web App either in Project Online or Project Server - you will need to use Project Professional 2013 and connect to your Project Online instance, or the subscription version, Project Pro for Office 365.
Best regards,
Brian Smith

Unable to edit WBS element once Project is released
Hi,
I am unable to edit the WBS element once Project has been released. Is this SAP standard behaviour? Is yes, is there a way we can make this editable and is it advisable?
Please advice.
Regards,
Sophia XavierHi,
The point is I am able to edit the WBS element before I have released the Project. But, once I have released the project the WBS element is blocked for changes.
Infact the WBS element is editable until the higher level WBS element is released. But finally when I release the Project and system status changes to REL, the WBS element is blocked for changes i.e., it is not editable.I am just trying to understand if this is standard behaviour of SAP that WBS element becomes ineditable only overall Project is released. If the WBS element has to be changed after release, is there a way out?
Regards,

Project server 2013 PWA - Can't open project in PWA
When attempting to open a project in PWA the following message is generated:
An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.
It happens in all PWA sites.
In addition you can open and edit the projects using Project Pro without any problem.
Any suggestions?Can you run the below command in SharePoint Management shell:
set-spprojectpcssettings -maximumworkerscount 260
Once done restart the Project Services and then check the behavior.

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.

Cost Approval workflow in Project Server (PWA) 2013
Dear All,
Is there any automation through which we can build some kind of Approval stages in PWA 2013 (Project Server) so that if any Manager wants to get approval on PO(Purchase Order) or some kind of approval related to Cost then it should flow in PWA?Hi,
Just to clarify, are you looking to create a project in PWA once a PO has been approved? If that's the case you can use the 'Create Projects' option available in Project Server 2013. Also you can create the projects through the SharePoint workflows
Details can be found here:

Problems on publishing projects in PWA 2013
Hi everybody,
I've got an issue with publishing my projects on pwa 2013.
At first it seems that everything is in good
order but after
we realize that instead of the total
hours allocated to the milestone is
equal to 0.
Then we go
on the project, we edit it and
publish it again, ma it appears the following screenshot:
How can I fix this issue? In my queue Jobs itdoesn't
appears nothing to indicate the failure to publish.
Thanks everybody for help.
ClaudiaHi Dale,
I'm sorry to bother you again,but
you seem very knowledgeable on the subject! :)
We've installed Service Pack 1 on our Project Server 2013,
at first it seemed
to have solved the problembut today it
has come back again.
We realized it because the report of TimesheetActualshad less hours than expected
and we found that this
difference was due to the non-publication
of the project.
Do you have any other ideas??
Thanks very much

Could I lose work by opening a project from PWA instead of Project?
Here is the scenario:
Due to network problems PMs are using autosave to save the project every 15 minutes.
Project manager1 creates a plan, edits it and publishes the plan from Project Pro. They close and check in the plan.
Project manager2 opens the plan, edits it and saves the plan in Project Pro. Makes lots of changes, but DOESN'T publish the plan.
Project manager1 reopens the plan for editing in Project Pro FROM PWA, doesn't see any of the changes made by PM2, but continues to edit and save the project every 5 minutes.
Project manager1 realizes the plan appears different. Is it? Did PM1 get the published version from opening from PWA, and by editing and saving that in PWA did they overwrite the changes that PM2 made back over the version in the Draft
database?
In the real world, it appears that is what happened. Luckily the previous draft version was backed up in archive, so we were able to restore that one, and only lose a little work.
I thought I had seen every way a plan could get mangled, but this was an interesting nuance I would like to understand.
For some reason, even though I know that the published version displays on PWA, I thought that if I opened a project from PWA in Project Pro for editing, I would get the draft version by default. Is that not the case?
Would love some thoughts from the experts out there...
Mark E Read Principal Sequence Advisors, Inc.Your understanding is correct. You should open it in Draft (assuming it was in Edit mode). It's possible that they opened the PDP but forgot to hit Edit - in which case they wouldn't see unpublished changes.

How to take the back of all the Projects from PWA 2007 to PWA 2012
I had already created projects in PWA 2007 and i want to take the backup of all the projects in PWA 2013 .how to do that .Please reply soon.
Hi,
assuming you want to use Project Server 2013 (there is no 2012).
If you want to get everything from 2007 into 2013, you should perform a migration:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee662496(v=office.15).aspx,
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff603507(v=office.15).aspx, and
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff603507(v=office.15).aspx#section3
If you only need to get certain projects, you can save them as local file from 2007 and re-save them to 2013.
Does that help?

Hi
Project Server 2010
I created an enterprise template in Project Professional and formatted it and set the font to Gill Sans MT, I then pointed the Project type to this project template.
When I created the new project type in PWA the formatting and font did not carry through to the new project.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
Kind regards
MDo you find that if you create a project in project professional using a template and then save it the formatting is shown OK? So you only see this problem when you are creating the project from PWA and the plan template is picked up via the Enterprise Project

Unable to edit XLSM files in SharePoint using hyperlink?
Hi All,
Unable to edit .xlsm files using hyperlink, please guide me.
Thanks
Ramanjulu Naidu NHi Ramanjulu,
Did this happen to all users?
Did the "Read Only/Edit" dialog pop up when you click the .xlsm Name link from SharePoint 2010?
Could you see the yellow message bar with "Edit Workbook" button when you open the .xlsm file in your Excel Application?
You can check if the following kb article could solve yellow message bar missing problem, set "Browser File Handling" as Permissive for your web application, or update the registry for client Office application.
Also check if the add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is enabled in your IE 32-bit browser.
