Task assignment in Collab server

Hi All,
Not really sure where to post Collab server questions but here goes...
It appears that a task can only be assigned to an individual Collab 3.02.
Does anyone know if a task can be assigned to a group or several individuals in Collab 4?
Thanks,Justin Robbins

Currently in collab 4.1 sp2, we can use the notify feature to send notifications to project leaders/members/guests. We would like to be able to do the same for assignment of tasks. Does this need to be a feature request?

WLI task assignment in parallel work flow

I have been working with the WLI for a proof of concept leveraging the task assignment
features. Following the worklist tutorial I was trying to assign a task usining
a parallel process. The server indicated it was unable to assign the tasks in
parallel b/c one of the parallel branches claims the task and does not allow for
the assignment to the other branch.
Is there a way to do this? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
William Ferris

Hi Rami,
if you use process controlled workflow available in SRM7, you can easily implement the scenario. Using process schema evaluation, you can implement two different schema for department 1 and department 2 based on differement department.
Thus you can achieve two different workflow - if the requestor is from department 1, one step workflow (only manager)will be triggered. If the requestor is from department 2, two step workflow (first manager of the department and then buyer of department 1)will be triggered .
I hope, it helps you.
Thanks and regards,

1 Email shows all tasks assigned to team member

Hi,
Project Server 2013, (not using timesheets)
Can any ways I can accumulate all the 10 tasks assigned to user xyz,
and send him 1 email containing all tasks info to the users.
2nd- Can I send a email to every users- with their Pending tasks of last week-in 1 email.
Thanks

I would first decide if that is worthwhile. My experience is that very quickly canned emails like that get treated as spam and sent straight to the bin.
It is useful info, but when thrown at people, it is rarely received well!

Programmatically add an existing task assignment to resource timesheet

hello forum members,
I am working on code that creates tasks for a project, assigns resources to task and then adds that tasks to resources timesheets so that they could log time against it.
Can you anyone recommend any code samples or link references on how to add an existing task assignment to a resource timesheet?

Hi Tatiana,
Check following code sample (PSI):
WebSvcTimeSheet.TimesheetDataSet dsTimeSheet = SvcTimeSheet.ReadTimeSheet(<TimesheetUID>);
WebSvcTimeSheet.TimesheetDataSet.LinesRow newLine = dsTimeSheet.Lines.NewLinesRow();
newLine.TS_LINE_UID = Guid.NewGuid();
newLine.TS_UID = <TimesheetUID>;
newLine.TS_LINE_CLASS_UID = TimesheetConst.const_StandardLineClassGuid;
newLine.TS_LINE_VALIDATION_TYPE = (byte)TimesheetEnum.ValidationType.Unverified;
newLine.TS_LINE_STATUS = (byte)TimesheetEnum.LineStatus.Approved;
newLine.PROJ_UID = <ProjectUID>;
newLine.TASK_UID = <TaskUID>;
newLine.TS_LINE_CACHED_ASSIGN_NAME = <Task Name>;
newLine.TS_LINE_CACHED_PROJ_NAME = <PROJ NAME>;
newLine.SetTS_LINE_COMMENTNull();
dsTimeSheet.Lines.AddLinesRow(newLine);
SvcTimeSheet.PrepareTimesheetLine(<TimesheetUID>, ref dsTimeSheet, new[] { newLine.TS_LINE_UID });
Guid jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
SvcTimeSheet.QueueUpdateTimesheet(jobUid, <TimesheetUID>, dsTimeSheet);
Make sure you have the Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library referenced in your project.
Hope this helps

Unable to fetch task assigned to particular group from user

Hi,
     I am usinf BPEL 10.1.3.0. The BPEL is configured to use the Oracle Infra as directory server for providing identity service.
     I have a two group created in oid by name AdminRole and TestRole.Have a one user assigned to each group.
     If i create a new user and assigned to both the role, so any task created for both the group will be visible to new user.
     But this is not happening the new user is not able to view any task assigned to AdminRole or TestRole.
     Any Help Apprecited.
Regards,
Bhavik

Hi Dasaradh,
If earlier issue (Pop message with 60) is not resolved, then it means your Service Constructor is old one. You will see this pop error message when you have more than 60 records to be fetched. The service solution component tables's maximum capacity was 60 only. We fixed the issue later.
So if you still see this issue, I would suggest you to update your service constructor.
For later issue [(Unknown Source)Error: Extension ID oracle.aia.codegen.codegenwizard in extension.xml does not match jar filename oracle.aia.aiaserviceconstructor], it looks like your Service Constructor install is not successful.
Thanks

My Tasks View in my custom task list fails to display the tasks assigned to me (that is the currently logged in user)

Hi
I am new to sharepoint 2010.
I created a custom task list, where I have many tasks assigned to users (I had tasks assigned to me as well). I created a view as "My tasks "and having a filter as Assigned To is equal to [Me]. When I do that my view fails to show the
tasks assigned to me. This happens same with the Sharepoints 'My Tasks' view as well. I tested by creating some test tasks under my name and when I selected 'My Tasks' view no tasks are getting displayed.
Please help.
Thanks,
Gokulkumar.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the tasks assigned the current logged in user.
In my environment, if I used the System Account, My Task view didn’t display any tasks.
However , if I used other users except the System Account, My Task view could display current user tasks correctly.
I recommend to use other accounts except System Account to log in site. Then everything will work well.
Thank you for your understanding.

How to get group key from a task assignment adapter

Hi All,
Senario:
I have two groups, say G1 and G2.
One Access policy, say P. (This access policy is associated with AD resource.)
AD Resource Object R.
I have defined an Approval process for Resource R.
Access policy P is assigned to both Group G1 and G2.
This Access Policy P is linked to Resource R
According to above configuration,
When I add User U1 to Group G1 ( or G2 ) through "Group Membership", Access Policy P is executed and the approval process which associate with the Resource R is executed.
In my Approval process, I have a task assignment adapter.
Within my adapter, I want to get the group key, which cause to fires this approval process. ( It may be G1's key or G2's key. )
Could some one help me for this ?

*SharePoint migrering
*Enterprise Content Managment
*Business Intelligence
*social business platform
*SharePoint analyst
*SharePoint Enterprise Search

What more am I missing that is important to add?
Please remember that I'm a newbie in SharePoint 2013.

I understand you have added ECM but I would also add Records Management, Machine Translation Service and Community Sites.
If you want to add features then you should also include Office Web Apps, Cross Browser Support and Responsive Web Design.

Task Assignment to Ggroup - Group Members Not Getting Email

I have a process with an approval activity with initial user selection set to a group rather than a specific user. I want all selected users to receive an email notification that a new task awaits them. When I assign to a specific user, the custom email template is sent to the user. When I assign to a group, the group members don't get the task assignment email.
How do I change that so that group members will receive email notification of task assignment?
Thanks in advance!
Eric

One possible solution:
You can use our Group Lookup component to get a comma-separated list of the emails of the members of the group. Then, in the step before the User>assignTask step, send the group an email. The only problem is that you won't be able to embed a link directly to the task, because the task doesn't exist yet.

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.

Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.

Project 2013 REST API - getting all tasks assigned to a user

I'm trying to get all tasks assigned to a user to display something like you would see in "My Tasks" using the REST API.
I found this: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/a5d8760d-8e27-432b-8187-592cadf302ae/get-my-tasks-tasks-via-rest-api-or-web-services?forum=sharepointdevelopment
But it doesn't seem to pertain to Project 2013.
Any idea on how I could do this?
As an aside, I'm having some trouble with finding guidance in the documentation. Are there any Project 2013 developer resources that break things down a little more than the SDK? Everything I've found is pretty Sharepoint-centered, not really getting into
the specifics of Project.

Check the samples folder which gets installed with SDK, there you will find some samples, however may not be the REST but with CSOM you could try something like this, i am sure you would be able to convert this pretty easily, in case required
projContext = new ProjectContext(pwaPath);
var PrjList = projContext.LoadQuery(projContext.Projects.Where(Prj => Prj.Name == newProjName));
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
var GotPrj = PrjList.First();
//DraftProject projCheckedOut = GotPrj.CheckOut();
projContext.Load(GotPrj.Tasks);
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var tsk in GotPrj.Tasks)
this.textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "Task Name: " + tsk.Name + " || Task Work: " + tsk.Work +" || Task Remaining Work: " +tsk.RemainingWork;
projContext.Load(tsk.Assignments);
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var tskAssgn in tsk.Assignments)
projContext.Load(tskAssgn.Resource);
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
this.textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + tskAssgn.Resource.Name + "--Res ID--" + tskAssgn.Resource.Id +
"----Assgn ID: " + tskAssgn.Id + " || Actual Work: " + tskAssgn.ActualWork +
" || Assgn Remaining Work: " + tskAssgn.RemainingWork
+ " || Assgn minDate: " + tskAssgn.Start
+ " || Assgn maxDate: " + tskAssgn.Finish

What is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Hi,
I am new project accounting Module .
what is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Project Assignment, Resource Assignment refers to the resource management part and Task assignment is basically the work assignment to the resource.
An assignment/requirement is created in PJR for create demand for the resource requirement of the project and when the resource is aligned he can be assigned to the task in the work plan.
Refers to the top down approach in this case.
Additionally a resource can be assigned to the work plan and a assignment can be created to get the resource allocated to the project.
Refers to the bottom up approach in this case

OIM - Task Assignment Adapter - How to get the object instance key?

Hello experts,
I'm trying to use a task assignment adapter to assign an approval task dynamically. Basically, the user can request a resource like "CustomApp Profiles" and we create an object form to let them choose the profile that he needs. Each profile has an owner, which is populate in a Lookup (Owner is the code and Profile is the decode).
So, in the approval task, I need to get the profile selected by user in the object form and search into the lookup who is the owner of that profile. But I don't know how can I get the object instance key using the parameters that can be mapped to a task assignment adapter.
Looking into the OIM documents, I believe that the easier way is using the request key, because the REQ_KEY is a foreign key in OBI table.
Did anyone knows how can I get the object instance key using the request key? Can I use some API or should I execute a SQL statement directly in OIM database?
Best Regards,
Nitto

To retry a task that is in a rejected state, you use the SCH_KEY which is the task key. In OIM, all rejected tasks are listed in the OTI table. It contains all the important information about a rejected or pending task.
You can use the APIs found in the tcProvisioningOperationsIntf class to retrieve open tasks.

Query for tasks assigned individually to all members of a user group

I am looking for a query that will allow me to create a list view that will show all tasks assigned to the current user (in the Assigned To field), as well as to other members of the user group that the current user belongs to. The scenario is that we want
a student to see tasks assigned to them, as well as to other students in the class. Each class is its own user group. I have seen a lot of examples where the filter shows tasks assigned to the current user and the current users group - that is NOT what I am
looking for.
For example - Todd (me), Fred and John are members of one user group. When I look at this class view, I should see tasks assigned to me, as well as those assigned directly to Fred and John.
Does anyone have a CAML query for this? I am thinking it would need to include the SPGroup element. Thanks!

Hi William,
I've tried this, but it isn't working for me. Should I chnge the Smart Group, to an ordinary one?
Thanks

Approval Workflow Task assigned behaviour

I have a strange issue that has started recently. On a approval workflow, if the users do not add anyone to the cc line on the task assignment, there is only one email generated to notify the recipient of the task . However, if they put someone on the
cc line as well, a email will get generated for each person on the cc list that will also include all the other recipients. So there are 3-4 emails being generated. What could cause this and how can I fix it?

Hi,
Let verify the following:
Whether you mean that when you add people to the cc line, several emails will be sent to the same recipient. if it is, perhaps your cc object
is a group contains the recipient.
Whether your approval workflow created with SharePoint Designer 2010 platform. Maybe
the following checkbox is enabled "For each group entered, assign a task to every member of that group" in the workflow.

Lisa Chen
