MS Project master plan with many projects
Hello, I did a big master plan where i have almost 20 projects with many rows. One project has approximately 70 rows. What i need to now is to share with my coworkers a master plan which shows only 8 rows from each project, Typically only assembly and testing activity. The rest should be hidden. They are not expert to use this software, so i need to prepare for them a new master file where will be shared from actual master plan the activity what they want to see only... Does somebody know how to set it? I would definitely not go in way of using some filters. So my idea is to make a new master plan which will display only some activity from actual master plan. But how to do it? How to link it. Is there any special feature for that? Thank you to all who has some idea how to solve it.

Project web app- No up to date data via OData feed
Hi all, we are working with the project web app. The Data stored in the project web app is pulled via the OData feed connector into a PowerBI report. The project web app is hosted on https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa, the data is pulled from https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata. The connection and data refresh was working for months without an issue, last week I have added two enterprise custom fields in the PWA and made some changes to the Enterprise Global. When opening the enterprise global a cache limit error appeared in Project Desktop, which was resolved by deleting the cache. I had to do a forced check in of the enterprise global in the PWA settings. I also got an error when loading the "Tasks" table in Power BI, an issue with one of the newly added enterprise custom fields was reported. This issue just appeared once, seems now to be resolved. Since then, I have not gotten any up to data from the PWA via the OData feed into PowerBI. When looking directly in the PWA the data gets updated, but gets not submitted via the OData feed anymore, some "old" versoin of the data gets submitted, I can run the data refresh against the OData feed without any issue but returns only "old" data. I also have 2 "Project Save from Project Professional" jobs under "Manage queue jobs" with job type "Cancelled" which I cannot remove / cancel from the list. How can I solve this? Thanks in advance
Planned / actual progress
Dear Community, A more simple question where I need your comments. What is the principle difference between the (1) Progress Line and the (2) Tracking Gantt in terms of showing the planned and actual progress .. ? The Progress Line shows for a defined activity the gap between the current date (planned) and the progress (actual), while the Tracking Gantt shows the gap between the "planned activity" and the "actual activity". Many thanks SteveProject for web generic resources not bookable
Hi, on Project for Web i've created some generic resources as you can see: Each of it with a hours calendar and bookable. Then i've added each resource in its own plan, for example: Pianificazione UDVC is my plan with my generic reource "Generica UDVC" The issue is that if i try to assign a task i can only find "Member of team x" instead of "Generica UDVC" , why that name instead of the name that i wrote? Also in some other plan i can't see any new bookable resource despite i can see the generic one from the "team" tab in Project admin portal. Why? Thanks!
