Project Online - Granting access to Project Site, Schedule, and Project Details
I am trying to nail down exactly what access and where to grant that access to give users who are part of a Project Team access to the Project Site and also the Schedule and Project Details (when clicking the Project Name link from the Project Center). We are set to use Project Permission Mode. Currently, I have been sharing the Project Site with users directly from the Project Site screen and to grant access to the Schedule, I was highlighting the Project from the project Center, clicking Project Permissions, and then select the following: View Project Summary in Project Center; View Project Site; View Project Schedule in Project Web App They can now see the schedule, but cannot see the Project Details. Also, their My Tasks screen is blank, even though they have tasks assigned on various projects. Please advise. Thank you.
Problem: Project Accelerator Power app "Tasks" tab connected to P4TW UI
Hello, I have been dealing with an issue for over a month now where the embedded Web Control on the Power App that compliments project 4 the web will not expand even to the point where I can see one task in a project schedule. It is making the app very frustrating to use. Does anyone out there have experience with this type of issue or are you facing the same problem? As you can see in the photo you can barely see one task in a project. I have tried the new and the classic designer to change the size on this box and I cannot. Specifically, it seems like an issue with the resizing of the PexWebControl in the project form under the tasks tab. The control does not even load in the designer. There is no way to resize it! PexWebControl is "control to host the modern project UI inside project form". I have opened a ticket with Microsoft and it has not been helpful. I have been bounced around and no one seems to know anything about this issue. This is also probably due to the fact P4TW is very new and not many people are allocated to it maybe. Either way I need help! Please community help me! 🙂Adding a List Item to a Project Detail Page in Gallery format
I created a new custom list in Sharepoint and set it to gallery view, so I can see each list item as a card with Choice Pills styling. I have attached a picture of one of the list items. I want to be able to present this list item (as is) in a Project Details Page using a web part. 1) Is this possible? If so, how? 2) Which webpart would I use to achieve this? 3) Are there other web parts that are available to download from Microsoft that may allow me to do what I am envisioning? Thank you in advance.Project Detail Pages - Questions about customizations
I am currently building out a Monthly Status Report in a Project Detail Page in Project Online. I finally have all the content showing via web parts on the page and now I am trying to do a few things to enhance it, which I could use some assistance with. They are listed below: - How can I print out the Project Detail Page (Save to PDF)? I right-clicked the content on the page and clicked print and it comes out OK, but was hoping for an easier way (export, print option within Project Online's PDP page). - I have a webpart displaying RAG Statuses, but only the text (ex. Green, Amber, Red). Is there a way I can either display these words as a color or simply make the text the color that is typed in? On a different (yet similar) topic, has anyone used the Highlighted Content Query Web Part? I cannot seem to find it in my instance. I watched a few videos on it, but none show how to enable it. Lastly, does anyone know why Add a Page is missing from Project Online? Thank you in advance to anyone that can shed some light on these questions. I am close to what I am envisioning, just need a push across the finish line.Project for the Web Project Request Process using Power Automate, CDS and Forms
Looking for a project request process for Project for for the Web? How about a simple example using Microsoft Forms, Power Automate and the CDS? https://pwmather.wordpress.com/2019/11/11/office365-projectfortheweb-project-request-process-using-microsoftforms-cds-and-powerautomate-projectmanagement-ppm-msproject-powerplatform/
Actual Task Hours "Auto-populating" in Resource Timesheet
Hello! I have a question about tasks that seem to have time actual values "auto-populate" in them on an employee's timesheets. Basically, when looking at a timesheet in Project Online (PWA), what causes some tasks to automatically show an hour value, when the resource has not yet entered anytime? Where-as other tasks on the same project will not show this automatically populated time, even though they are assigned to the same resource and still have time remaining? I have an example below. Of the three tasks below, all 3 were still active, but only the "Project Management" task is displaying values in the "Actual" field that the resource did not enter? Looking at the task details in the Project Desktop application, all of the tasks are very similar in the Assignment Information. They are all assigned to the same resource, they are all manually scheduled, etc. The only difference that I can see is the "Work Contour" field show as "Contoured" on the task that is auto-populating time values. Whereas the other tasks are set as "Flat". Project Management Task Info: Other Task Info: Would this "Work Contour" field be having the impact described above on the employees' hours on the Timesheet? If so, how/where is "Work Contour" being determined? If something else may be causing the auto-populating values on the Timesheet, I would be happy for any additional information. Thanks! ChrisProject Online Resource Engagements update
A quick update, the Resource Engagements feature will not be automatically enabled for all on the 22nd September, this has been delayed. New PWA instances created will still have the engagements feature automatically but existing PWA instances with Resource plans will not be automatically updated to engagements in September.
