Task Notes in Project Views in PWA

Hi,
is there any way to show all Task Notes in Project Views in PWA?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
I'm aware of this. My questions was to get the full Task Notes. Multiple Lines.
How to achieve this?
Thanks,
Peter
Hi Peter,
Task Note data is stored as an Image Data Type in the SQL database. As a work around, You may create a report using the below article:

Edit custom task fields in Project Schedule

Is it possible to edit custom fields for a task in the project schedule in PWA?
At this moment we are getting a message that we have to use Project Professional to make this change.

Michiel,
Which version of Project Server are you using? What kind of custom field is it?
In short, yes it is posisble to edit custom fields for task via PWA (2010, 2013), as long as it is NOT a formula driven field.

Task notes do not get synchronized in Online mode

Greetings Internet!
I've come across something odd with Outlook 2013 and was hoping for your wisdom. When I create a task with notes on a mobile device (tested with WIndows phone 8.1 and iOS 8), the notes portion of the task will only sync with outlook (via Exchange
2013) if it's in cached exchange mode. Now we have several users who log in using RDS, and Outlook is configured for online mode only. When Outlook is in Online mode, the notes field of a task does not sync correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.

It showed the notes in OWA, but still no joy in Outlook on our terminal server (in Online mode) after deleting and recreating the profile.
Also repeatable on my workstation when I change outlook from cached exchange mode to online mode.
Changes I make while in online mode sync back to the other devices, just not the other way around.
Very strange indeed.
Hi,
It seems that the Task notes can be viewed correctly in OWA but not in Outlook on your terminal server. Please check whether there is any mail related scanning or third-party add-ins in your Outlook client and local machine.
We can start Outlook in safe mode and change a computer without RDS to check whether the issue persists.
Additionally, please create the Task notes with Outlook client instead of using Mobile device. Then check whether the issue can be reproduced.

All project tasks appear when I view a schedule in PWA but the schedule is blank in MS Project Professional

We have a project in our Project Server 2010 environment and it was being managed for a period of time without any issues. Recently, a user has gone into PWA and edited the schedule in PWA by deleting all the tasks and re-creating a new set of tasks.
He has saved and published the project from within PWA.
However, although the schedule can be viewed and edited from within PWA, if we try to open it in MS Project, the schedule is blank. ie. there are no tasks displayed. It is the correct project as the project name appears at the top of the MS Project
window.
I have tried saving and publishing the schedule via PWA but I still get a blank scehdule when I open it in MS Project Professional.
I have also cleared the cache in case there was something happening there but no change.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
PS. I am not technical so if you have a technical solution, can you please explain it in as non-technical terms as possible?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Paul
As I mentioned in my post, when I open the scheudle in MS Project, there are no tasks displayed. ie. the schedule is totally blank. So although it could be opened, I was reluctant to publish it via MS Project. I did delete the MS Project
cache as well as the IE Browser history, cookies etc but no effect.
This is now a mute point as I decided to restore an earlier version of the schedule from the backups and it now seems to have been resolved. The schedule is appearing in both PWA and MS Project and they are in synch with each other.
I have put this down to a random corruption that somehow crept into the schedule.
Thanks for your response anyway.

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.

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 Server 2010 - Assigned tasks not visible in PWA

Hi,
When I enter an issue on a project site, the assigned issue is not visible in the PWA under Issues & Risks.
Based on this link (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f5abd024-3c9a-47f8-a7cb-7743fafebf2b/project-server-2010-cannot-see-assigned-issues-and-risks) I have tried to solve it however without success.

As I understand this error could be due to a mismatch between the fields that are 'standard' in the project server and fields that are op the project site.
If the reporting database could not sync, will consequently also the issues not be visible on the PWA??
Any suggestions how to solve this?
Regards,
Dirk

Hello,
Yes, if the Issues & Risks are not being synchronised to the Reporting database then this will impact the issues & risks appearing on the PWA homepage reminders web part. See this post on how the data gets to the Reminders web part in Project
Server 2010:
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/projectserver-active-issues-and-risks-on-pwa-reminders-web-part-ps2010-sp2010-sharepoint/
The error you are seeing is probably caused by the default Issue or Risks columns being edited or removed from the Issues or Risks lists. It might be worth taking a look at this post:

Timesheet could not add task from existing project task assignment

HI there,
I tried to add a task in Timesheet (PWA2013) from an existing assignment. However, there is no task listed under the project when I open the dialog "Add an existing task". It only shows me the project name, I click it, nothing under the project.
Due to this issue, I could not add any existing task into the timesheet.Please look at the screenshot. The "test project" is the project name, while no any task under this project.
Any help is appreciated!
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
Indeed if you cannot access the server setting from the quick launch menu in the left part of PWA, you have to request administrator rights to your admin.
I would add an important comment : in PWA2013, the "close to update" PWA2010 feature no longer exists and has been replace by the "lock" feature, which works basically the same.
To unlock tasks in PWA2013,
go to server setting, manage views,
choose a project view,
insert the "lock" column,
go to the project center,
check out your project schedule,
select the view you just modified,
change the value in the lock field for the given task,
publish the project
Read this post here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/28d4914d-5a80-4638-8153-94155a7d43fe/locked-feature-not-working-in-pwa-2013?forum=projectserver2010general
And this article: http://epmsource.com/2012/10/31/where-has-close-tasks-to-update-gone-in-project-server-2013/
Then it should be ok.
Hope this helps.

Webforms visible in project view but not in browser view

Hi all
I have a problem:
We have a Yearly Task list with several webforms. Now, if I try to open the webforms in the normal project view everything works fine. But if I click the same Webform when I am in the browser view/tasklists/Yearly, I get the following Error message.
Requested document does not exist.

Strangely, this only happens with the webforms that I have added more recently. The older webforms work fine also in the browser view.
Thanks

Hi all,
We try to import Webforms from an application in a new application , inside a folder hierarchy.
There was the same error when we want to access to any documents.
The folder was created by an Active Directory User (With All rights).
I have created a Folder with a Native Account (With All Rights) , and access to the document is now available.
I hope this workaround, will help Oracle to understand the root cause.
Regards.

Project Lite License for Team Members not giving access to the PWA

Hi there - So here is my issue I am having with Project Online 2013. I am new to project server ( I mean project online) & really having fun with it but MSFT can make it a bit easier to the Users.
So we brought the following 2 licenses
1) Project Lite for Team Members ( Brought this license after getting answer from previous question posted by me at Previous
thread )
2) Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365.
So I am able to access the PWA for my Portfolio Managers, Project Managers etc., Now I tried giving access to the Team Members and as directed by MSFT I added them to the group "Team Members for Project Web App ".
I created some tasks in project schedule and assigned the tasks to the Team Members and published them.
Now when My Team Members try too access the PWA Site , they are not able to access it.
1 ) When trying to access the ( http://tenant.sharepoint.com/PWA/Default.aspx) which is the home page I am seeing a webpart error with correlation ID.
2) When trying to access the Task through (http://tenant.sharepoint.com/PWA/Tasks.aspx ) where you see the tasks, the page gives me " Sorry you don't have access to this page"
So now my question is how do I give access to my Team Members so that they can work on the tasks assigned to them in the PWA.
Any help is highly appreciated.

SP2013Dev,
You need to Share the PWA with the team members to give them access. Please refer to my blog here. Hope this helps.

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.

PreE V8: Clips not displaying in project view

I have a clip in the my timeline/sceneline that is not displaying in Project view. It also does not have the "P" in the bottom corner of the thumbnail in Organizer view. Why isn't the clip considered part of the project?

I have been shooting in XP+ mode and have been for the past year.
I haven't tried using the Premier Elements Get Media function. I usually import both still images from one camera and the video from this camera at the same time into the same Photoshop album and use Organizer. Also there are some training videos and books that tell you to use Organizer.
I tried importing a video file using the Get Media function and was able to use the set in/out points and have them saved correctly.
Then in the project that I am working on I took one of video files that I imported through the Organizer and deleted it from the catalog. Then I imported it using the Get Media function and put it in the album with the other files. Then I used Preview to set in/out points. Those points were saved correctly.
So know I will delete all the remaining video files from the catalog that I haven't yet used in my project and then remote them through Premiere's Get Media.
So it appears that as you thought, I need to use Get Media to import video files. But that is not emphasized in any documentation. I think there should be a warning when importing video files in Organizer saying that if you intend to use Premier Elements to edit them that they should be imported via that product.
Thank you for your assistance.

RoboHelp 10: Imported Topics Not Showing Up in Project View

Hello,
Here is my issue:
1) I import files via the project view (right click > Import > Select HTML files).
2) Files are "imported", including related images.
3) Although the folders in which the images are located are imported and shown in the project, the HTML file is missing from the project list.
4) When I attempt to re-import, the system complains that the file already exists in the project.
I've attempted to delete the CPD file and reboot. No luck. The files still don't show up. When I create a page in the TOC and manually write the file name, the page shows up.
NOTE: The pages all have a .html file extension (as opposed to .htm). This hasn't been an issue with other pages, however, which have .html extensions but still show up in the project view.
TIA

That's unexpected. The script recreates the RH *.fpj files to add missing topics to your project. Not delete them. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Good thing you made a backup.
Would it be possible for you to share this project with me? I would like to debug the script with your project to see what is going on. You can contact me at contact [at] wvanweelden [dot] eu.
Kind regards,
Willam

PSe 8: Clips in timeline/sceneline not showing in project view.

IN Photoshop Elements 8 I have a clip in my timeline/sceneline that is not showing up in Project view nor does it have the "P" in the bottom right corner in Organizer view. I thought that project view is supposed to display all scenes currently in the sceneline/timeline.

Oops - this should be posted in the Premiere Elements Section.
