Project Pro 2010 not saving Header or Footer entries

Using Project Pro 2010 SP1 32bit and have an issue where I have added Header and Footer details from the Print screen(Page Setup), it prints fine, and then I save/publish the plan. The next time I open the plan, the header and footer details are not
there.
I have tried this on multiple plans with the same result. Any ideas of what could be wrong?
Thanks!

Torose --
When you are using Microsoft Project 2010 with Project Server, the system only allows you to edit non-enterprise views, such as the Gantt Chart view.  Under normal circumstances, the Gantt Chart view should be one that you can edit, and have the edits
saved in the project.  The deal breaker would be if your Project Server administrator added non-enterprise views (such as the Gantt Chart or Resource Sheet views) to the Enterprise Global file.  Frankly, this is something he/she SHOULD NOT do, but
there are many organizations where a Project Server administrator has done this without realizing the negative consequences.
What you will need to do is to ask your Project Server administrator to do is to open the Enterprise Global file for editing, and then to click File > Organizer.  In the Organizer dialog, he should look at the list of views on the right side of
the dialog (in the Enterprise Global file), and he should delete any view that is not truly an enterprise view.  This means that if he/she sees views like the Gantt Chart view or the Resource Sheet view, he/she should delete them.  The only true
default view that ships with Project Server 2010 is the Enterprise Gantt Chart view, and he/she should NOT delete that view.
Then he/she should click the Tables tab in the Organizer dialog, and examine the list of tables on the right side of the dialog.  Again, he/she should delete all of the tables that are not true enterprise tables.  He/she might see the Entry table,
for example; if so, he/she should delete it.  The only default enterprise table that ships with Project Server 2010 is the Enterprise Entry table, and he/she should NOT delete that table.
After doing this, your Project Server administrator will need to save and close the Enterprise Global, and then exit from Microsoft Project 2010 entirely.  He/she should also tell every PM to exit out of the software as well.  The next time you
launch Microsoft Project 2010 and connect to Project Server, you will get a copy of the newly edited Enterprise Global file.  And now you should be able to add headers and footers to any view, and see them the next time you open the enterprise project.
Hope this helps.

  • Function works in MS Project Pro 2010, but not in MS Project Server 2010

    I have an custom enterprise text field in Project Server 2010 that uses the "Instr" function and it works fine.  I created a local custom text field in MS Project Pro 2010 that was similar, but uses the "InstrRev" function and
    it works fine.  I then go to project server 2010 and try to create a custom enterprise text field using the "InstrRev" function and I get a message that says, "This formula contains errors.  Correct the formula and try again." 
    It's the exact same formula that I tried in project pro - copied and pasted.  Why is that?  Does Project Pro allow for a wider range of VBA functions in local custom fields than Project Server does when creating enterprise custom fields? 
    Is there some way around this? 
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    There is a way around it.
    Logon to MS Project Professional.
    Creat that field there
    Add Field to Enterprise while in MS Project.
    It has just worked for me.
    Please let me know if it worked for you.

  • Error messages during XML import of Project Pro 2010 files

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to diagnose a couple of sick Project Pro 2010 files loaded from Project Server by saving them locally as XML files and then reimporting (not connected to the server during import).  The anomalous behavior exhibited by both files
    is that one takes 15 minutes to load from the server, while another takes over 20 minutes. These are not typical load times for this server.  In both cases, Project consumes about 25% of the CPU during the load process. There's little network I/O
    while this goes on, and when externally linked schedules are loaded to the cache, they load very quickly.  Other than the long load times, the schedules appear to be behave normally, except for some very odd print preview behaviors in one of the schedules
    that I asked about in a different thread (among other things, the default print preview start date is 17 years after the default finish date, and the finish date is about 11 years before the schedule actually starts).
    The questions I'm asking here are about errors I see when I try to import the files exported as XML, and whether they might provide any clues as to what's causing the load time issues.
    When attempting to import one of the files saved as XML, a pop-up appears that says, "The actual finish date is before some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. If  you continue with this operation, Project will truncate
    some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. To continue, click OK..."
    When attempting to import the other file saved as XML, I get a series of pop-ups identifying a series of tasks that say, "The timephased edit will cause 'Develop Requirements Review Meeting Mi...' to start before 'Conduct Requirements Review"
    finishes.  As a result the task link cannot be honored.  You can: () Continue. Keep the timephased edit and ignore the link.  () Cancel. Ignore the timephased edit.  (OK/Cancel/Help)".
    Interestingly, both files contain external Project Server predecessor / successor links.  In the case of the first file, the XML import just appears to strip those out.  In the case of the second file, I get a long series of pop-ups (with
    some buggy text inserts) in pairs.  The first message in the pair is typically "An import error occurred.  The element <PredecessorLink> in the <Task> element with <UID>=611 has invalid data.  Verify that the file
    name and path are correct, and then try again. (OK)", where the indicated UID varies. The second pop-up in the pair appears to have a buggy text constructor and looks like this, with "[stet]" indicating the apparent buggy text inserts,
    "An import error occurred.  The element [stet] Verify that the file name and path are correct, and then try again. [stet] in the 309 element with <UID>=7 has invalid data. [stet] ^4 (OK)"
    In the second pop-up of the pair, the "xyz element" varies, but the "<UID>=7" reference and "^4"  are consistent. In the XML, UID 7 appears to refer to a calendar, a task which includes a number
    of entries similar to:
    <TimephasedData>
    <Type>24</Type>
    <UID>7</UID>
    <Start>2014-10-03T08:00:00</Start>
    <Finish>2014-10-04T08:00:00</Finish>
    <Unit>2</Unit>
    <Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
    </TimephasedData>
    ... and to an assignment:
    <Assignment>
    <UID>7</UID>
    <TaskUID>10</TaskUID>
    <ResourceUID>-65535</ResourceUID>
    <PercentWorkComplete>100</PercentWorkComplete>
    which includes blocks like:
    <TimephasedData>
    <Type>2</Type>
    <UID>7</UID>
    <Start>2014-10-17T08:00:00</Start>
    <Finish>2014-10-17T17:00:00</Finish>
    <Unit>2</Unit>
    <Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
    </TimephasedData>
    Eventually, the second file also does load with no external file links indicated.
    Again, I'm just looking for anything that might be a clue to the long Project Server load times.
    Thanks in advance,
    LP

    Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.

  • Unable to launch project schedule in project pro 2010 via the icon in project center on project server 2010

    Unable to launch a project in project pro 2010 via the icon in project server 2010 project center.  Nothing happens.  The pull down "open" menu doesn't do anything either.  Can't open the schedule in project pro in read-only or edit mode.
    This is happens to a handful of project managers.  Can't find a common thread.

    Hi Brian - the latest 'weight on my shoulders' was vacation :) - so just catching up - first day back.  We do have a fix coming in August CU for a problem that sounds very similar - but we would need to see your data to confirm if this is the case
    or not.  So the choices at the moment are to wait until we release the week after next, or open a support incident - but we would likely need assistance from your DBA to either run some queries or get us a copy of the DBs.
    Best regards,
    Brian.

  • Macbook pro 2010 not showing hdd in disk utility but shows the same in usb

    Macbook pro 2010 not showing hard disk in disk uility but same hdd shows when connected to usb original drive, also installed new hard disk 500gb, same result, but connected old hard disk of 500gb shows in disk utility and also able to installed os on it, tried installing lion 10.7 on it with the original and new hdd but not shows in  disk utility pls help for this problem

    I'm kind of experiencing the same issue now.
    A few days ago, when starting up my Mini, I would get a warning that the system didn't recognize the drive with the option to ignore. I hit ignore and all seven drives would mount. Because I have seven drives attached, I had no idea what drive was giving the warning.
    Today that drive failed to load up at all. I ran disk utility and after several tries, it said repair was successful yet the drive will not mount.
    I'm currently running recovery software on it to see if I can copy everything from it to another drive. It is a fairly old drive, about 3 years old so it's time is short.
    I don't have any suggestions but mine does show in disk utility.

  • Project Pro 2010-hide closed projects?

    We would like to hide closed projects from the project pro listing of all projects in server, but still have data show in our SSRS reports that we have created.
    I've been able to hide closed projects in PWA project center view but not having luck with Project Professional Server version 2010
    Ideas??
    Debbie (Clary) Dixon

    Hi Debbie,
    Here is a proposal to archive closed projects without deleting them, so you can include them in the reporting.
    You can create a dedicated group and category.
    First, create the security and the group:
    create a security group for non-admin users
    create an archive security category, associated with the new non-admin group. Refuse all the cross autorizations between the group and the category. In the "projects" section, check the box "only designated projects" (or however it is named in your langage),
    and do not check any box after.
    Now the archive process must be as followed:
    unpublished all project tasks, inserting the "publish" column
    in PWA, close to update all project tasks to prevent users to update task progress on archived projects
    add the project to the archive category
    The project is archived (unpublished and closed to any updates) but still in the databases, accessible in the reporting. At any time and for any reasons, administrators can "restore" the project by removing it from the archive category.
    Then you can put in place on a regular basis the usual process of physically deleting the archived projects once you're sure that they won't need to be accessed anymore and data are not needed anymore in the reporting. They still will be accessible by the Archived
    native DB.
    Hope this helps.

  • Project Professional 2010 Not Publishing to Project Server 2010

    I am having trouble publishing a project from Project Professional 2010 to the Project Server 2010 (PWA). What I am trying to publish is a master project which is contains many enterprise projects as subprojects. When I press publish, it prompts me
    to save and if I click yes then it goes through and saves all the subporjects and then just stops there and doesn't publish the changes to the master project. If I press publish and click no to the save prompt then it gives me the status "sychronizing
    data to server" for around 15 seconds and then just does nothing after the sychonization finishes.
    It usually should be giving a "publishing job done 0%" or "publishing job completed" when it publishes, but it gives nothing like that. I also check the project through the PWA and it has not updated yet, but when I open it for editing in the client it has
    everything updated and up to date, meaning that the save is working properly and just not the publishing.
    All my subprojects are able to publish correctly, it's just this master project that is not working.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Is the publishing process timing out for some reason? Or is it something else?
    Please help.
    EDIT: The progress notification at the bottom of Project Professional just stops at "save completed sucessfully" whenever I try to publish

    To check the queue, navigate to Server Settings > Manage Queue and view the jobs that are present. If there is an error when publishing you should see it in the queue.

  • Enterprise Work Resource Changed to Material Resource MS Project Pro 2010

    Hi,
    There is a resource, I believe at some point was an enterprise work resource that changed to a material type resource within an enterprise project schedule. The resource have actual hours booked a while back. Is there a way to change the resource type (from
    Material) to work? I am able to search for the user via Server Settings > Manage Users but am not able to find her in the project center (All Resource) in hopes to edit the enterprise resource through the Project Pro Client. 
    Thanks.

    Hi Paul,
    You have to go through the RESOURCE CENTER, since it is a material resource, you will not find it under "server settings, manage users" which only allows you managing users and not resources
    Hope this helps,

  • Configure working times in project pro 2010

    Hello.   Our company has project server 2010 up and running.  I am a project scheduler, and I am needing to schedule 6 hours of work per day (8AM-3PM, for example).  I believe, based on the research I've done, there are a few ways to
    do this, including adjusting resource calendars/changing working times.  My issue is that when I go to "Change working times", then "work weeks", "Details" is disabled, due to the way the server admins have set-up permissions.  
    I think the admins can create me a customized calendar...just looking for any outside-the-box recommendations/ideas out there for how to do this, given the constraints i've mentioned?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Pardon me for bumping in.  As you note, there are a couple of options available - one is to drop the calendar for the project (and base calendar for resources) to 6 hours per day - 30 hours per week.
    If you choose to go with that answer, yes, it is best to set the definition of "day" to 6 hours and definition of "week" to 30.  I would also change the default start and end to match the calendar.  All are taken care of in
    File > Options, Schedule.
    There are no real risks of not having the calendar match the working time - just strong possibilities for significant confusion.  For example:  you've change the working time in the calendar (Work weeks) to 08:00 to 3:00 pm - but still left your
    definition of "day" to 8 hours.  You add a single task to the project with the default 1 day duration.  The task will start on Monday but end on Tuesday because you have only allowed 6 working hours per day.
    The order of preference for scheduling and calendars:  Project calendar initially.  Resource calendar when you assign resources.  Task calendars may over-ride resource calendars.
    Another suggestion:  leave the working time and definitions to 8 hours per day.  If you want to indicate that your resources can only generate 6 hours of work on tasks in your project during any given 8 hour day, set the resource's maximum units
    to 75%.  If you assign a resource and enter 8 hours of work, Project will increase the task duration.
    I hope this helps.

  • Project Server 2013 not saving custom field data

    Hello all,
    I have a Project Server 2013 deployment with several Project-level custom fields.
    One of them, never saves the info typed in. All others work just fine but this one does not like to save anything. There's no error in queues or the ULS.
    I'm so lost with it. Any thoughts?
    Rene Alvarez

    An update on this issue.
    I could isolate it to the project plan template. If I use my custom fields with an EPT without a plan template, I have no problem.
    So the problem is the template right? Well, I did the following:
    Create a blank template and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with 10 tasks (task name only) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with my full 135 tasks (task name only) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with the 135 tasks (task name and WBS) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with the 135 tasks (task name, WBS and milestones) and attach it to the EPT. Result: FAIL. Cannot save custom fields again.
    A user noticed something. If he opens a problematic project in Project Pro, and publish it again (no changes) then the project accepts data in the custom fields.

  • Outlook 2010 not saving Sent emails in Sent Items Folder

    This problem does not exist on this forum.  Using Outlook 2010 (V 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit) on Windows 7 64-bit with three accounts: 1 account is Gmail and 2 accounts are IMAP.  The IMAP accounts inexplicably stopped saving Sent emails.  The
    Gmail account still saves the Sent emails.
    Tried already:
    1. Changing the Sent Items setting from Save on folder on computer to Save on server and then changed back to the way it was, which is correct.
    2. Created a new profile and entered the email settings.  Still no sent mails being saved.
    3. Ran Outlook repair.  No luck.
    Not sure where to go with this next.  Never have run into a problem like this before.

    Hi,
    Please make sure you have the emails sent to the recipients successfully, if not, the emails may be saved to other folders if you have the following setting:
    File tab -> Options -> Mail -> If you checked
    Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,
    Save to this folder, you may have your emails stored in the selected folder if the emails are not sent successfully. 
    Please visit the Webmail site, could you find the sent items there?
    Try Reset View, then try to search for the sent emails by keywords in Advanced Find, can you find the emails?
    Kindly check the following settings:
    File tab -> Options -> Mail
    -> under Save messages, make sure you have checked Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
    If none of the above helps, feel free to contact me again.

  • New Keyboard Shortcuts in Word 2010 NOT SAVING

    I am unable to save new keyboard shortcuts to Word 2010.  The ones that come with the program work like CTRL B for bold, etc., but when I try to create new ones, they'll work while I'm in Word, but when I try to close it for the day, it tells me that
    there is a copy already open and it doesn't allow me to save to the Normal template.  When I try to save to a different template, the keyboard shortcuts I created do not work.  There has GOT to be a patch or workaround for this.  I am working
    on a small network, fyi.  Thanks so much.

    Hi,
    I have noticed that you have replied in a similar thread. Do you have the third party programs which mentioned there?
    And then based on my test, please try the following steps:
    Exit Word 2010> Rename the Normal.dot (Path: C:\Users\uesrname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates) >Restart Word. 
    Create the new keyboard shortcuts ,assign to the command and choose Normal to save.
    If it still not works, please give me the whole error message during your saving.

  • Lync 2010 not saving IM messages to Outlook

    We have a small number of users who have issues with their Lync communicating with the exchange, they do not get any flagged errors however their IM messages are not being saved & they do not have the folder within Outlook.
    The Exchange server is hosted internally, the Lync server is supplied by a 3rd party.
    Many other users including myself have no problems in this regard.
    They are currently running Windows XP with Office 2007 & Lync 2010.
    I have checked their folder count which is no where near 1000
    I have created a brand new profile on their machine.
    I have found that under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Communicator/<username> the autodiscovery folder does not exist
    I have also found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft the Communicator & Lync folder do not exist (these registry folders have been mentioned in troubleshooting I have found on MS website) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2000886
    I have attempted a re-install of Lync.
    I should also mention that I signed the user into my own machine (same, XP, Office07, Lync2010) which for myself the conversation history works but still the user has issues.
    I've also had the 3rd party create a brand new Lync account for the user.
    Does anyone have any ideas here?? Would anyone know why these registry keys are missing as the install is done in the same manner on each machine, the majority of which work correctly.
    Thanks for any help
    Sam

    The issue may be caused by failed EWS connection. Please check the following tips:
    1. Please check other Exchange integration features work properly and the option “Personal information manager” has been selected in Lync client.
    2. In this user's Lync, please holding down CTRL and right-clicking the Lync icon located in the System Tray and click Configuration Information . 
    Please check if the status of EWS information is ok. Please also check if Value of EWS Internal URL and EWS External URL is correct.
    3. On user's client, please go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[User SMTP Address]\Autodiscovery, please check if the URL of the
    following items are correct:
    ExternalEwsUrl
    InternalEwsUrl

  • Pro XI not saving images

    Hello,
      We are having image problems when saving. We have a livecycle form that allows people to save an image with an image field and other data in some text fields.
    The users having problems are using Acrobat Pro XI. They seem to be able to open the form, fill in some data and save the form. When the form is reopened the data displays just fine except for the image.
    The image field is blank. The image does not display when the user re-opens the form. However, if another user opens that saved form using a different program/version then that user can see the image OK form the saved PDF.
    Any ideas what might be happening?
    Thank you.

    That .plist file should exist. Have another look. - Another suggestion, but not a cure, download Capture Me. It is free and works a treat!
