Project web filter settigns

I have a filter set up for projects that will filter out and projects that are marked as "closed" so they will not display on everyone's list after the project is done. is there a way to set this filter up for everyone? the default
is that no filter is applied.
it's not a big deal to show everyone how to use the filter, but it would be nice to have it start that way by default.
this is only for the web view of the projects list in MS Project 2013

1. In the PWA web site, navigate to the 'PWA Settings' page.
2.
Under the 'Look and Feel' heading on the 'PWA Settings' page, click the 'Manage Views' link.
3.
On the 'Manage Views' page, click the 'New View' toolbar button.
4.
In the 'Name and Type' section of the 'New View' page, select the 'Project Center' value from the 'View Type' pick list, then enter a view name into the 'Name' field and enter an optional brief view description into the 'Description'
field.
5.
In the 'Table and Fields' section of the page, select the desired data fields from the 'Available fields' list and click the 'Add >' button to add them to the 'Displayed fields' list, adjust their order by clicking the 'Up'
and 'Down' buttons, adjust their column widths in the 'Field width' field, and optionally add a custom display name for each in the 'Custom Label' field.
6.
In the 'Format View' section of the page, select options to format the view such as 'Gantt Chart format', 'Grouping format', 'Group by', and 'Sort by'.
7.
To optionally filter the items in the view to show only specific items of interest, click the 'Filter' button in the 'Filter' section of the page, establish one or more filter criteria in the 'Custom Filter' dialog box by supplying
values for 'Field Name, 'Test', and 'Value', and click the 'OK' button.
8.
In the 'Security Categories' section of the page, associate the view with one or more security categories by selecting them from the 'Available categories' list and clicking the 'Add >' button to add them to the 'Categories
which access this view' list.
9.
Click the 'Save' button.

Access to Project Web App

I have installed Project Server 2013. The issue is only a single user given access to PWA through project web app service application has access to the site. Even my account, that is the farm admin account has a full access right to web application that
hosts PWA is not able to log in to the project site while normal sharepoint sites i have access.
Is it by design or i am doing something wrong?
sachin

You need to add the users through project server permission by granting them access to the Project Server which will enable them to log on, this can be done dependent on security mode you have
Check this on how to add users

How to get user 'logged in' to ironport web filter without launching IE

We have an issue with some employees who use third party programs that traverse the Internet. These programs are 100% allowed by the organization as they are required for day to day business. Some programs go over the Internet to communicate for certain reasons, such as a live chat help support, or ordering products, etc..
The problem is that some of these users log in and never even touch Internet Explorer for awhile. They will go on and start working right away. Well if they don't try to access an Internet site via IE, then the Ironport does not 'log them in', and they are known as unauthenticated. Of course this doesn't happen with everyone. There's nothing wrong with people coming in a little early and checking the local news online.
We were thinking up if it's possible to have each user 'touch' the ironport web filter in some way during a logon script, unbeknown to the end user, so that they are 'signed in' and whatever Internet connected application they launch has access through to the Internet. Right now they need to at least launch IE and go to some site (say Google or MSN) and via NTLM credentials transparently passed through IE7, 8 or 9, they can simply close the page and go about their business. Note: they MUST go to an external site.... not an internally hosted one (such as our Intranet, time clock or HR self service pages).
So is there any commands we can put in via kix or bat or something that will say "Hey Ironport, %username% just logged in at 10.x.x.x". Then maybe to make it more advanced, a logoff script that says "Hey Ironport, %username% just logged OFF of 10.x.x.x". This way when our hourly timeout happens, they aren't immediately booted from their Internet applications (if they don't keep an IE window open that is).
Right now our ASA Firewall uses WCCP to forward port 80 to the ironport web filter. The Ironport is a transparent proxy.
Thanks!

So it looks like you are moving the authentication from the Ironport S160 to the ASA5500 series firewall?
I guess we are looking at something simpler, like a way to 'touch' the internet and pass NTLM credentials, because then the Ironport knows who the user is.
If the user does not 'touch' the internet with IE, and say they use some other program that does not pass NTLM credentials (say Firefox or live chat program, or an ftp program, etc...) They are likely to be blocked, because the Ironport doesn't know who they are.
Your link seems to lead to a complicated setup for something that seems so simple. I'm not sure how that relates to an Ironport S160.. it seems to focus on the ASA5500. Also we want it to be completely 100% transparent to the end user.
This is how it worked with a Barracuda web filter appliance...
A DCAgent program sat on each domain controller. As users logged in or out of the domain, this agent passed this current activity to the Barracuda web filter appliance.
The Barracuda appliance knew exactly who was logged in because of this little program on the domain controller(s) that kept it updated. Based on this, policies could be assigned based on Active Directory group memberships. ie) HR and Marketing can access Facebook, while others cannot.
I guess I'm looking for similar functionality with the Ironport S160. If there's any way the domain controller, or even the client PC can say "Hey Ironport, %username% is logged on here at %ip_address%". That way the Ironport would know who they are, and there would be no unnecessary authentication boxes (besides the user logging into the windows domain). They could use internet connected apps that do not pass NTLM authentication. I guess the client PC or the domain controller would also have to tell the IronPort when they signed off, just so we don't have to deal with authentication timeouts. This way, say they are in our internet chat help program... after an hour, it will cut out and disconnect them - because the IronPort forgets who they are (unless they are actively using the internet with IE).
So for now, we just use the bypass option for the affected internet services. The default browser is IE, so the reality is that we are not suffering any tremendous inconvienence. It's just that we want to ensure we have the best robust solution, and we can handle these types of situations with programs other than IE accessing internet resources.

when i try to create a project i get error "GeneralUnhandledException"

Also, after you provisioned PWA, are you able to get to the server settings? Did you do any configurations with PWA or using the defaults?
Are you trying to add the project using the FarmAdmin account or did you add yourself as a resource with project manager role?

After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to. A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work. I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it! a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters. I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
tha
nks in advance for any assistance.
j

I am having the same problem. The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7. I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

Missing values of Enterprise Custom Field in Project Professional and Project Web Access

Hi all,
In Project Server 2010 SP2 we created a custom field called Iteration Path (without a lookup table).
We're in an environment where Project Server task data gets synched from TFS and we've mapped the Iteration Path from TFS to the Enterprise Custom Field in Project Server.
We've triggered synch of all synchronized work items from TFS to Project Server
Then, in the database we can see the Iteration Path values coming across
When I open these projects in Project Profssional, the entire column of Iteration Path is empty.
When I open these projects in Project Web App (from Project Center), the entire column of Iteration Path is empty.
When I open the master project which contains all these projects, no values are shown.
Any ideas what can be wrong?
I did already clear my cache, global.mpt, but nothing changed. We don't have this issue with other Enterprise Custom Fields that are mapped to TFS fields.
Cheers,
Bram
www.projectexpert.nu

Hi Bram,
In the 4th item, when you say "database", which one are you talking about? Project Server DB? Draft or reporting DB?
If the value are not showing up in Project Pro, it is no need to clean your cache, since the value are obviously not stored in the Project Server Draft DB. The issue is more likely to come from the TFS sync for this particular field. Do you have any logs
for the sync process? If your field in anyway different from the others, containing specific characters?
Hope this helps.

Problem with my company's web filter, Barracuda when I try to access the internet

I'm having problems accessing the internet on my tour. Ever since my company put me on their BlackBerry Enterprise Server it appears that when accessing certain web sites the Barracuda web filter comes on. It's so frustrating... on top of it my company doesn't pay for my phone at all. Therefore, I do use my BlackBerry for personal as well as business.
I spoke with the IT guy and he initially thought it was the Desktop Software I downloaded to my computer, but we have uninstalled it and re-booted my phone and it's still happening. I called Verizon Wireless and they tell me that it's because I'm on the company's enterprise server and that I am tied to their internet service and that's why I'm getting the Barracuda access denied on certain sites that they have restricted. I am incredibly frustrated and don't know what to do...  I want to stay on their server because of the push email and the synchronization for all my contacts and calendar. Any help is much appreciated...
Thanks.

The blackberries are designed to send everything through the corporate network, when using an Enterprise Server.
Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Just to be sure that this is clear -- they are not "designed" as you state...rather, the BES admins can force all Internet traffic through BES (and thereby apply filters) or they can allow it to go direct through the carrier network. The IT Policy placed onto the device at BES activation is in control of how the traffic flows.

Can Project Web App track output produced rather than time spent?

Hi -- I understand how team members can track the amount of time that they've spent on different tasks using Project Web App. However, what I really need to keep track of is how much they've produced, rather than how much time that they've spent on
it.
For example, I would like each team member to be able to give me a weekly report that says:
# of sparkly blue widgets completed: 10
# of pink matte widgets completed: 15
# of beige widget accessories: 50
I don't care how long it took them to make any of the widgets or widget-related items. I just want to know how many each team member made in a week. Right now we do this in Excel, but I would love to figure out a way to make some sort of form in PWA
where they could just enter their numbers.
Is that possible?
Thanks

How to display the bw-variables in webi Filter

Hi,everyone,
When I set default values ( ex. last month ) to BW-variables in the BW enhanmance, this default valuse can not display in webi. I use the routing: BW-QUERY --> Universe --> webi. So I hope to display the BW-variable in the Webi filter, with which ,I can set the default values . Could you help me?

Thanks for your help again. I create the universe after had coded the enhanmance of BW variables. The engine type universe connection is SAP Business Warehouse.
So I can see the variables when run the webi query or run the webi but not showing the default value. But the default value effect if I do not set value in prompt.

What is a web filter and why is it prevetning me from using firefox?

Firefox allows me to search on google but as soon as i click the next link/to go on the page i want is doesnt work. Instead it talks about a web filter saying that the page i tried to visit could not be checked by web filter. This also happens when i use internet explorer. How do i fix this?

A web filter can be a piece of software installed on your computer, or on a network you are connected to that checks the content of the sites you are trying to visit. Talk to the owner of the network you are trying use, or the owner of the computer.
It's also possible you have malware, try scanning for malware with the directions at [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

Projects not showing up between project pro and project web app

I have projects that I created using project standard. Now that I have a subscription to project pro for office 365 and project online, I wanted to import these projects. If I use project pro and save a project to office365, it doesn't show up on
the project web app side. Yet I know it is there because if I try and save with the same name it says it can't because it already exists. Similarly, if I create a project on the project web app side and then try and open it using project pro, it
errors out and won't open it.

Hi,
If I understand well, you had standalone projects that you'd like to import on Project Online?
Then you just have to open MS Project (connnected to your project server) then SAVE AND PUBLISH it. Be sure to fill any required information such as project custom fields.
What is the error you get while opening Project Pro? Has the project been correctly published from PWA (not just saved, and no error message in the queue)? Then is Project Pro connected to your project server?
Hope this helps.

Editing the Schedule PDP, at the Page Details Web Part, inserted wrong Project Web App URL. Cannot access Project Schedule Pages.

I need a help. The environment, SharePoint and Project Server 2013 and SQL Server 2012, running on Windows Server 2008. Editing Details Web Part in a Schedule PDP Page, saved invalid Project Web App URL. After that, can display the Project Information and Project

Luis,
Have you tried this?
Navigate to the schedule PDP, in the browser address bar, append the string
?Contents=1, like thus:
https://<your PWA Address>/Project%20Detail%20Pages/Schedule.aspx?Contents=1
This will open the Webpart Maintenance page. Now, select the Details
webpart, and Delete it. Once done, navigate bacjk to the webpart page, edit page, and re-add the Details Webpart to the page.
This should fix your issue.
Cheers,
