PWA 2013 Project Center Default View Problem

I removed all the views for the Project Center and created new views more appropriate for my organization within the Manage View area through PWA Settings . This included removing the Summary view which I have now understand is the default view. So
when users go to the PWA Project Center page, they receive the following error message:
"View Failure - The view failed to load. Press OK to reload this view with the default settings. Press Cancel to select another view."
At this point, if the user select OK, they see the following message:
"You don't have permissions to view any Projects"
Then they can change the view and everything is fine for that user.
If they select Cancel, they have the option to select a different view and everything is fine for that user.
My question is, how do I set a new view as the default view? Based on the research I've done, this doesn't appear to be an option. Assuming that is correct, what are my alternatives? This will be a continuous problem because all new user
will see this error message.
Thanks!

There is no option to define a Project Centre view as the default view within PWA that I am aware of.
The Summary view is just the first view that is displayed when you access the Project Centre. Once you have selected a different view in the Project Centre if you then navigate away from the Project Centre, to the Resource Centre for example, and then return
to the Project Centre it will display the view you last viewed.
I think the same applies if you close the browser and then re-open it.
If anyone knows how to determine the default view in the Project Centre I would be interested to learn.

Import Calendar Entries to Exchange 2013 Causes Outlook Calendar View Problems

Today I was working on a way to import company holidays for 2014 into people's calendars. We're running Exchange 2013. Most users have Outlook 2010, but I'm on the bleeding edge with Outlook 2013.
The best method I found online for adding events to everyone's calendar involved creating a calendar in a PST file that contained all of the company holidays and then using the Exchange 2013 Management Shell to import the PST file into people's calendars.
I created the calendar in a PST using Outlook 2013. Each holiday is an all day appointment. I then used the management shell to import those appointments into my calendar. Outlook was running when I ran the import.
After the import completed, I went to look at my calendar and Outlook 2013 crashed. I restarted it, clicked on my calendar and it crashed again. After some digging, I found a suggestion that I start Outlook with /cleanviews. That seems
to have corrected the problem. All appointments appear as expected. Well, that was ugly. But I'm the only one on Outlook 2013 right now, so it's not a showstopper.
I then found a victim running Outlook 2010 for my next import experiment. Outlook 2010 didn't crash. But the calendar view did reset to a list view instead of whatever the user was running before. Strange... I ran the test again with
another person and was able to reproduce the result. All appointments are present, but Outlook feels the need to change views?
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to import these appointments without the calendar view being reset? I don't want to think about all the support calls we're going to get when people's calendar view gets changed to a list view.
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Is the use able to change the calendar view manually? Please check whether all calendar items are in list view both in OWA and Outlook? Please try to import the PST file from Outlook side to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

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:

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

Project Web App (PWA)/Sharepoint 2013: is there any way to display two different views of the Project Center PWA web part to the same user in a site collection?

i want some of my users to see all the projects in the Project Center at my top-level site, and those same users to see only the projects they own at a subsite level in Project Center. that way they could see an 'all project' view on the homepage and only
their projects on their dashboard pages (which also have an instance of Project Center web part on them). i have searched and searched but cannot find a solution to this. is there any way to acheive this functionality? thanks in advance for your assistance!

I have tried this in the past, but was not successful, as far as I can recall. Once you access the project center webpart in one page, the view will be retained regardless where you see it again. (until you apply a different view or clear your browser cache).
May be an easier solution is to display a 'report' on the home page with ALL projects (much easier to do), and use the Project Center webpart for the My projects view as it is easier to achieve via Project Server Security, than a report.

pls. help.
The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

Hi,
According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758656(v=office.15).aspx
In addition, as this issue is related to project server, I suggest you create a new thread on project server, more experts will assist you:

How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2013 project file that includes the view?

In earlier versions of PWA a URL for a project could include information on the particular view used. This was very handy for emailing people since when they clicked the URL they would see only the particular tasks in that view. In PWA for Project 2013
the URL contains the info for the project file only and does not include the view or filter or anything else.

Hi Scott,
As far as I can see, this is not possible anymore, since the view's list in the PDP (for example schedule PDP) is affecting only the webpart and not the entire webpage, meaning that the URL is not connected anymore to the view and vice-versa.
Indeed this could be annoying..
Hope this helps.

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.
Claudia

Hi 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
Claudia

Project Center Views

Is it possible to send a link that will launch a given view in PWA 2013? We have several views defined and I would like to email my managers and have them update the project status's for all projects in a given view so that workflow will process correctly
for the projects.

Hi,
Unfortunately it is not possible. The view ID is not part of the project center URL (https://servername.com/sites/pwa/Projects.aspx). By default, it will open on the last view used by the user.
But what you can do is to associate views to categories. Doing this, you can identify a group of users, assign them to a category with 1 unique project center view. Thus you'll be sure that they always step in the required view.
Hope this helps,

Possible to take user to a certain view in the Project Center

Hi All,
Is is possible to take a user via a link to a specific view in the Project Center? If not is it possible to flip the view via code when a user logs into the Project Center?
Thanks!

Hi
Is this Project Server 2010 or 2013 ? In 2010 Have you tried providing permissions for the user on a specific view ?
You may also look at post to understand how the user properties are saved:

Error Message when opening Project Plan on Project Professional from PWA 2013 using either Google Chrome or Firefox

Dears,,
One of our clients uses Google Chrome
as their standard navigator to open PWA 2013 that we have deployed for them.
Every thing went fine until we tried to open a project plan using Project Professional 2013 from PWA using the Edit in Project Professional option, we had the below error:
"Project Web App was unable to find the specified Project.
the project was not found on Project Web App. some possible reasons include:
The Project has not yet been saved successfully to the server.
The Project has been deleted on the server.
you don’t have adequate permissions to open this project.
if the project is available in the local cache, you can click the globe in the status bar and select "Work offline", and then open the project, if the problem continues, contact
your administrator."
Please note that IE is working fine with this scenario,
the belwo screenshot shows the error that appears to the users.

Hi All,
As Gary and Guillaume suggested, have you tried to install IE tab extension for chrome?
See the link below:
http://www.ietab.net/
and also im with what Dale has posted
(why don't you just tell the PM to use Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome?
I suspect that this problem reveals that PWA does not work perfectly in browsers other than the Internet
Explorer,
so I would simply mandate that all PMs and TMs need to use Internet Explorer for Project Server.
Just a thought. Hope this helps.)
from my side , i have tested it and it works perfect.

Project Server 2013: customize JSGrid (Project Center, MyTasks, etc...) ?

Hi,
In Project Server 2010, it was possible to customize the JSGrid, thanks to the tutorial included in the SDK "Walkthrough:
Customizing the PWA Ribbon and Accessing the JS Grid". It works really fine, and I used this possibility in many Project Server 2010 implementation for Customer.
I would like to make it on Project Server 2013, but the same code doesn't work. I found some posts
here, where people had the same issue, but no clear answer.
The Project Server 2013 SDK does not contain the same tuto upgraded for 2013, and I hope that this possibility still exists.
If somebody has a very basic example to show how to execute some custom code on Focus Change event, or clic, or what ever event happening on this JSGrid, it would be very nice to share.
My installation is On Premise, not in On Line.
Thank you for your help !

Hi,
In fact for filtering, you have to use delegate.
The "HandleFilter" function must be created by you. You have to bind this function to the correct delegate.
For filtering, the main delegates are:
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.AutoFilter
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.LaunchFilterDialog
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetAutoFilterEntries
The post
here explains the process for 2010. For Project Server 2013, the difference is that we don't have the same objects.
Here you can find the way to declare the delegate in Project Server 2013, with the SetDelegate method:
var pc; // Contains the Project Center extension object.
var JsGridControlInstance;
var JsGridSatellite;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ProjectCenterMain");
function ProjectCenterMain() {
pc = new ProjectCenterExtension();
function ProjectCenterExtension() {
if (typeof projectCenterComponent === 'undefined')
return;
JsGridSatellite = projectCenterComponent.get_GridSatellite();
JsGridControlInstance = projectCenterComponent.get_GridSatellite().GetJsGridControlInstance();
JsGridSatellite.get_tableViewParameters().bAutoFilterableColumns = true;
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.AutoFilter, HandleFilter);
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.LaunchFilterDialog, FilterDialog);
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetAutoFilterEntries, FilterMenu);
function HandleFilter(newState) {
alert("Filter !");
function FilterDialog(param) {
alert("FilterDialog !");
function FilterMenu(param) {
alert("FilterMenu !");
My advice to search, is to put a break point on the ProjectCenterExtension function, and through debugger, tou can drill down in the main methods and properties.
Often you will see functions with get_XYZ(), and then be able to make the matching with the Project Server 2010 syntax.
For the filtering implementation, I beleive that you can deal with your article based on 2010: it should work as soon as you will get the equivalent objects in 2013.
Hope it helps !
Sylvain

Timeline in Project Center 2013

Hello,
How can we remove the Timeline from the Project Center of PWA 2013?
Thanks

Hi Wild1966,
the Timline in PWA is a Webpart which you can remove if you don't want it.
In PWA | Project Center go to "Settings" and chose "Edit Page". You will first see the Timeline Webpart. In the right upper corner of it open the context menu and click on "delete". With "Stop Editing" you will come back to the normal
page.
I hope, this helps.
