Project Online- How to hide/show timescale from Schedule.aspx (PWA)
Hi all, Some time ago I had no problem to remove or add Timescale from Project Center or from a Project Schedule page (PWA).. Currently I have achieved "close" (or open) timescales in Project Center but not in Schedule page because web element only displays "Details" and there is not any mention to close-show Timescales. Do you know if there is still any way to show/hide timescales in Schedule page (PWA). Thanks in advance. Carlos
PWA Instance not found
Hi Community, I'm experiencing an unidentified issue, every time I create a new PWA instance, I can initially access it without problems, however, within less than a minute, I receive the message: "Sorry... the instance is not found." I’ve confirmed that the account has a Project license and admin permissions. Has anyone encountered this before or have any suggestions?Project for the Web - "Failed to load baseline" error on read-only records
Hello dear community, We have deployed Project for the Web, as well as the Project Accelerator, in a dedicated Dataverse environment. We customized it for our own PPM needs. All works well except an error related to the loading of the baseline when people with a read-only security role try open the Tasks tab of a project. The message says "Failed to load baselines. Please try again later" with a correlation id. It does not block other activities in the Tasks tab though. We checked that they indeed get access through the expected security role. We then experimented changing the permissions: Grant write permission on the 2 baseline related tables (Project Baseline Data, Project Baseline Task Data) => No change. We reverted to read-only on those two table. Grant write permission on the Project table => This resolves the problem For information, we created that security role by copying the Project User role and grant only read permissions on all assigned table for the "Parent: Child Business Unit". Though this indeed seems to resolve the problem, it does not constitute a valid solution since granting unwanted write access. Has any of you encountered similar issues? Best regards, Pascal

"As late as necessary contraint"
Hello, I have a big project with most tasks being dependent on a "Construction start" milestone. That whole structure is set up and works nicely. Now I have to add some land clearing work as "secondary tasks", they can be executed before the "Construction start"-milestone but they must not delay the main tasks. The land clearing work can only be performed in winter because of bird protection periods, I have set that up with a ressource. The result looks something like this: My problem is I want the land clearing work to be performed as late a necessary, not years in advance at the project start, but without delaying the end date. If I set the task to be scheduled "as late as possible" it moves everything else back and it overloads my resource aswell: Is there a way to fix this without setting manual Dates? The start dates are not yet fixed and I want as few fixed dates as possible so I dont have to manually adapt everything incase there's a change.
Expense Tracking
I have several projects that are running concurrently. Some are completely capital expenses and some that are completely not. Is there a way to dictate a whole project is a capital expense and another that is not? I am working mostly through MS Projects Desktop and I am using Power Bi for reporting purposes.PFTW: Make or Promote Subtask Grayed Out Sporadically
I have two separate projects that were created in PFTW. One of them I can still make and promote subtasks (not grayed out) and the other project I was able to make and promote subtasks but now both options are grayed out. I have tried to do this from Project Accelerator, PFTW, and Planner and cannot do it from any of the apps. This is the image from the Planner access for the WBS without the functionality accessible: Here's a screenshot from the WBS where I can access: I am not the only one with this issue and we seem to have the correct licensing as we can access the functionality in some projects but have lost it in others. Any assistance troubleshooting and resolving this is greatly appreciPFTW: Make or Promote Subtask Sometimes Grayed Out and Sometimes Not: Please Help!
