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. How can I approve this timesheet? What he sees: I see nothing in approvals, or in History for that period.
Inquiry about APIs or SDKs for Roles, Permissions, and Microsoft Project Integration
I am currently working on a project and I am looking for any available APIs or SDKs that are related to managing roles and permissions within Microsoft products. Additionally, I'm interested in knowing if there are any specific SDKs or APIs for integrating with Microsoft Project. If anyone has experience or resources related to these topics, I would greatly appreciate your insights or recommendations!
Project Online - saved location
Hi, When I create a Teams, it basically creates a SharePoint site in the background. Is the same concept applied when I create a Project Online, that creates a SharePoint in the background? if yes, How can I find the SharePoint site that is tied my Project? (I only have a link to the Project) If no, Is it possible to manually link the project online to a SharePoint site? and how can I find the site(s) where the Project Online is linked.
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!Gridline for Project Start Date Shifts When Printing
Hi I have a solid gridline set for Project Start in the gridlines pop-up, which shows correctly at the project start date [Week 1] in the chart area. However when printing, including print preview, it shifts to the earliest task date [Week minus 13]. Please see screenshots below to illustrate. I'm running Version 2408 (Build 17928.20440). Any help appreciated - thanks.Issue with EntityLinks in Project Online API
Hello everyone, I'm working with Project Online and trying to retrieve task data via the API. While reviewing the metadata, I noticed that PublishedTasks have a navigation property called EntityLinks, but I couldn't find clear documentation on its purpose or usage. What I Tried I attempted the following API requests: Retrieve EntityLinks for a task: GET https://{sitename}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{validProjectId}')/Tasks('{validTaskId}')/EntityLinks Expand EntityLinks within tasks GET https://{sitename}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{validProjectId}')/Tasks?$expand=EntityLinks Observations When the project has tasks, the request fails with: { "odata.error": { "code": "42, Microsoft.ProjectServer.PJClientCallableException", "message": { "lang": "en-US", "value": "PJClientCallableException: GeneralUnhandledException\r\nGeneralUnhandledException\r\nException = System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.EntityLinks.ThrowIfEntityLinksNotSupported()\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.EntityLinks.ReadEntityLinksForEntities(Guid[] entityUids)\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Wcf.Implementation.CSOMImpl.<>c__DisplayClass35_0.<ReadEntityLinksForEntities>b__1()\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessObjectMethodInvocation.InvokeBusinessObjectMethod(String methodName, IEnumerable`1 actions)" } } } If the project has no tasks, the request returns an empty response without errors { "odata.metadata": "https://{sitename}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/$metadata#SP.ApiData.PublishedTasks", "value": [ ] } Other navigation properties (e.g., Predecessors) work fine with a similar request. Questions What are EntityLinks, and what do they refer to? How can they be created via the UI in Project Online? Is there a way to retrieve them successfully through the API? I couldn't find references for this error or EntityLinks. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
