Compress or not show time between two groups of tasks
Hi all, I have two sets of tasks for the the same project that occur approximately 10 months to 1 year apart. Is there a way to show both sets of tasks on the same Gantt chart and have the time between them (10 months to a year) not be visible, or greatly compressed? The image below shows my two groups of task separated by almost a year, so I would like to either not show or greatly compress the time gap circled in red. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, Arthur
PWA - Timesheet that is not approved not showing in Approvals
I have a staff member whose timesheet from December 2024 is not approved, but it's not showing anywhere in Approvals or history for me to approve. The timesheet contains only Administrative time.

Hi all, I´m looking for Microsoft Project trend indicator. There is earned value analysis allows you to look at project performance in a more detailed way. It allows you to identify two important things: 1) the true cost of project results to date 2) the performance trend that is likely to continue for the rest of the project Could you tell me if there is another/different Microsoft Project trend indicator other than earned value analysis , please ? Thank you, Marcos

Issues with Creating and Linking Related Entities When Creating an Entity in Project Online
Good day all! I am currently working with Project Online, where I am trying to create entities and utilizing OData’s “Create Related Entities When Creating an Entity” feature. For more details, please refer to the OData documentation linked below: https://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-3-0/odata-version-3-0-core-protocol/#datamodification:~:text=10.3.2.2.%20Create%20Related%20Entities%20When%20Creating%20an%20Entity In the OData metadata, there is an entity type named DraftTask, which includes a navigation property called Assignments. When creating a new DraftTask entity, I am also attempting to create an Assignment entity by including an Assignments object in the POST request body and specifying its properties. Please see the request below: POST https://{site}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{project_id}')/Draft/Tasks { "Name": "My Test Draft Task", "ActualCost": "42", "Assignments": [ { "Notes": "TestNote" } ] } I receive an “HTTP/1.1 201 Created” response along with a representation of the newly created DraftTask object. However, I do not see any relation between the created DraftTask and the Assignment entity (with the specified Notes). Even when I perform a GET request to retrieve the currently created draft task using the returned Id and expand the Assignments property, the relation is still missing. It appears that the server only creates the base DraftTask entity without creating the associated Assignment. However, according to the OData documentation, the service must create and relate each entity upon success. Does anyone know if Project Online Server supports this type of entity creation according to the OData standard? Additionally, the OData documentation supports another method of entity creation that establishes an association with an existing related entity, known as 'Link to related entities when creating an entity.' According to the OData documentation: https://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-3-0/odata-version-3-0-core-protocol/#datamodification:~:text=10.3.2.1.%20Link%20to%20Related%20Entities%20When%20Creating%20an%20Entity I am attempting this approach using the @odata.bind annotation. Please see the request below. POST https://{site}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{project_id}')/Draft/Tasks { "Name": "My Test Draft Task 2", "ActualCost": "21", "email address removed for privacy reasons": [ "https://{site}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{project_id}')/Draft/Assignments(guid'{existing_assignment_id}')" ] } The behavior remains the same - the server successfully creates the DraftTask object but does not establish an association with the referenced Assignment entity. Does Project Online support this type of entity creation, or does it only allow creating the base entity? I would appreciate any insights on this. Looking forward to your response! Best regards!
