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 - web app does not open

Today my Project Online web app does not open. Error message is
Could not connect to the specified Project Web App URL: https%3a%2f%2fsapphire365.sharepoint.com%2fsites%2fpwa. If you have manually changed the Project Web App URL for this Web Part, please remove this Web Part and add it to the page again from the
Web Part catalog
I've not changed any web part. Can you please help out as I cannot access anything in project online.
Thanks

CR,
Agree with Hrishi that you should open a service request, and if you can't log into your tenant, then use this URL to log into the administrative portal to log the service request:
https://portal.microsoftonline.com/admin/default.aspx
Good luck,
James.

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,

Project Site's Tasks List not sync

Hello,
It seems I am having an issue with Project Site's Tasks List as it doesn't sync with the Project Plan/Schedule in Project Online.
In all of the instances, the setting in PWA Settings/Connected SharePoint Sites: "Sync Enterprise Projects tasks to Tasks List" is always checked.
The thing is that it used to work fine: whenever I published a new project, whether it was "Automatically create a site on first publish" or "Allow users to choose", the Tasks Lists were successfully synced.
Recently I have removed/deleted the existing connected project site and created a new one based on default Project Site templates, meaning the synchronizable lists (Risks, Issues, Tasks etc.) must remain. Now the sync problem occurred for both newly published
projects and existing projects. The Project Site's Tasks List appeared empty although it was locked for edit in PWA. I though the sync would have run overnight, but it didn't.
Does anyone have any clues about this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Linh

Linh,
What is the task list you see under the column Server Settings >> Connected SharePoint Sites,
under the columns Tasks List, when you use the default template?
More over, is this is a new project or an old project? I think there is an issue if yo turn off and turn
the sync option again for existing projects. May be it applies to projects that you delete and recreate project site for?

Hello,
Unfortunately Project Professional 2010 will not connect to Project Online / Project Server 2013. You will need to use Project Professional 2013 to connect to Project Online / Project Server 2013. Project Pro 2010 will only connect to Project Server 2010.

Project Server 2013-Tasks updates not replicating on schedule page

Hi,
We have updated the custom fields data in MyTasks.aspx page, but those changes are not updating on Schedule.aspx page evnthough those tasks are approved.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Thank You,
Kusuma

Prasanna explained how to do this using a Macro, and he also points out the perils. What happens when you have two resources assigned to the task? If User A enters a value of A and User B enters a value of B? Which value would you have appear at the task
level?
You can ask the system to roll down values from Task to Assignment, however you cannot ask the system to rollup values from the Assignments to the Task level without providing custom logic to handle the all of the potential possibilities.
Between Prassanna and Barbara, you have a comprehensive answer, I am simply trying to help you understand their replies. The key to understanding this is the "one-to-many" relationship between tasks and assignments. In practice, you might have a policy of
"one assignment per task," but that is not typical, and there is no way for Microsoft to guess what is supposed to happen to your custom task/assignment fields when one assignment value does not match another assignment value on the same task.

Project Online: project will not move to next workflow stage

Hi, another workflow question: I've created a workflow using the SPD 2013 for a Project Online PWA. When a project has gone through the portfolio analysis it should move to either the Selected or the Not selected workflow stage. The problem is that some
projects do and some don't:
("Naam van werkstroomfase" = Workflow Stage Name)
All projects were checked in when I committed the portfolio scenario.
Does anyone else have the same experience and how did you solve it?
Kind regards,
Hester

Hello All:
I have an issue open with Premier Support and through hours of testing and tweaking, I've summarized as follows:
The 'stalls' always happen when any of the following code is added to the SPD2013 workflow. The common thread is Project Custom Fields and the code has been inserted at various points to prove the failure.
When a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow attempts to access a large number (more than 10?) of Project Custom fields from the Start a process command, the workflow stalls. In this case we are adding custom field values to the
email body for Gate Approvers.
When accessing a large number (12 or more?) of custom fields and writing those values out to a SharePoint List as a baseline 'snapshot' of custom fields, the workflow stalls.
When attempting to update a Project Custom field value, the workflow stalled. (i.e. Set Project Status = ‘Approved’ at Gate 3)
We have pulled that code (and function) from this release and begin user training tomorrow.

Project Online, Issue with creating projects from EPTs (with workflows)

Hello, I am using Project Online. I am not able to create a new project based on the "Software Development" EPT. I get following message: Sorry, something went wrong An unexpected error has occurred. TECHNICAL DETAILS Troubleshoot
issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. Correlation ID: 29b2b89c-607f-1000-80c2-80bbbb7ff088 Date and Time: 15.09.2014 03:57:25.
Any ideas what went wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Martina

The reason for this behavior was the following:<o:p></o:p>
The currency of the PWA settings have been changed.<o:p></o:p>
Looking into the queue of the EPT we found the following hint:<o:p></o:p>
Project:<o:p></o:p>
ProjectCurrencyConflict (23001). Details: id='23001' name='ProjectCurrencyConflict' uid='f1850fb3-c53c-e411-9a1e-00155d58393b'.<o:p></o:p>
After changing back to settings "Allow projects to be published in various currencies" the workflow works fine.<o:p></o:p>
Nevertheless this issue is not clear for us why it appears after a currency change in the workflow. Maybe a sleeping bug?<o:p></o:p>

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.

Unable to connect Project Professional (dekstop) 2010 to Project online cloud enviornment

Greetings!
I am trying to connect Project professional (2010) local desktop version to the
Microsoft Project Online (Cloud) PWA hosted by Microsoft -
so that we can edit a cloud project timeline through the desktop thick client (Pro). I think, cloud is a great interface, however some of the scheduling functionalities are better in MS Project Professional (thick client).
Unfortunately, I got the following error message:

Project Online with an existing SharePoint Online tenant

Hi, As I understand Project Online includes his own SharePoint Online infrastructure, my customer needs evidence on if they implement Project Online this service will not interact with an existing site information on very customized SharePoint online intranet,
any information reference will be great.
Thanks

PWA is special site collection and like every site collection in SharePoint it is independent of other site collections.
You can bring up the SharePoint admin center and show various site collections to give him the peace of mind he needed.

Task column not editable in Project Server 2013 (PWA)

Hello,
is that possible that Project's task column which are published on PWA cant be editable for any Project Manager, Team members?
We have a scenario where my management team wants that after creating project from MS Project Professional 2013 (where we have provided standard template for projects to chose from ) needs to published on PWA. After publishing it, no one can't modify
task name in Projects but can add task if required.
Is it possible??

For the field:
Go to server settings, enterprise custom fields and lookup table,
Click on Create
Select task type, then formula,
Click on the field selector button and pickup the [task name] field under the text group,
Save.
For the view:
Go to the server settings, then manage views,
Select the view in question under "project" (for example tasks details)
In the field section, select your new field from the left side and add it to the right side,
Select the default task name field from the right side and remove it (it'll go to the left side),
Validate.
To validate:
Go to the project center and open your project,
Navigate to the schedule PDP and select your view tasks details)
Click on "edit" to open the project schedule,
Publish the project plan and check that your field is there and cannot be edited.
Hope this helps,

Project Online Workflow not moving forward after approval

I'm building a custom workflow for a Project Online tenant using SD2013 but something is not working with approvals.
In SD I create the workflow with very simple actions:
1. Wait for submit
2. Create approval task
3. In stage transition, if task ended with "Approved", move to the next stage, if not, go to "Cancelled" step
Everything works fine until the approval. I see the task, approve it but then nothing happens. The task appears as "Completed" and "Approved" but the workflow just stays there.
I had this very same behavior on a couple of deployments in the past with Project Server 2010 in Spanish.
The tenant created the Project Web App in Spanish as well. Could this be the cause? How can I correct it?
Thanks in advance.
Rene Alvarez

I am also having the same issue.
The task appears in the list, I approve it, then nothing happens. No error, no feedback, no history list log (I put in a log statement right after the approval task, it never runs), the workflow status page still remains as "Started".
Any ideas?
If online is as slow as processing approval actions overnight, then it is simply unusable.

Updating task does not update project plan

In PWA, the following steps are taken
User updates their time in the task window for a task, than submits this task
The PM approves the time entry from approval center
The PM then opens the project from PWA or Project pro and the time that approved for this task is not showing up in the project plan
This happens in all projects
Project server is not configured with SEM
At queue jobs, Job state is "Skipped For Optimization" for status update jobs
Why is the project not recognizing the time entry?
Thank you.

I am running into this same issue with PWA 2013. I publish a task, have the resource update it via my tasks in PWA, then Open Pro and Check Progress. Pro redirects me to the Approvals page in PWA. I approve the task update, Pro pops several
message windows asking me to wait while the update is processed. The update processiong finishes and...
No progress indicated. No actual work indicated. I have tried opening the Working vs. Published version of the schedule. No difference. It appears to be something specific to this project schedule, as other schedules work just fine.
I have multiple resource assignments on the task in question. I've checked the assignmnet dates, updated task progress in PWA using various methods including work earlier than planned, as planned, work less than planned, anything to get Pro to reflect
the update. Pro rcognizes that there IS an update, indicated in the File / Backstag (Updates pending indicator) but it will not process them.
Personally I think the assignment level date in the DB is not being handled when accessed by PRO. All the data is right if you look in PWA.

Project Server Task Approvals not Going into Plan

Hi,
After approving a task, we are finding that it is not going into the plan - on our separate test environment, the same steps work ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Could you please let me know, if the issue is happening for only one projects or all the projects.
Also, Check for failure transactions.
select
ASSN_UID,
* from pub.MSP_ASSIGNMENT_TRANSACTIONS
where ASSN_TRANS_STATE_ENUM
=4 and
proj_uid like'Proj_Uid'
Also let me know on which patch level you are on?
Check if you have any projects affected with lost resource bug
http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectsupport/archive/2014/02/06/project-server-2013-and-project-online-what-happened-to-my-resources.aspx
