Question about enhancing the appearance of a roadmap in MS Project Online
I created a few projects in MS Project online. Then I created a roadmap based on these projects. All of this was easy to do and worked fine. My manager asked me if I can enhance the view of the roadm...

The Timeline view in Project Web App has most of the features of the Timeline view found in the Microsoft Project desktop application. However, I doubt anyone has done a YouTube video on using the Timeline view in PWA. Your Project Online application administrator should be able to create a Timeline view at the top of the Project Center page that will meet your specifications. He/she needs to add you to the Project Managers security group in PWA so that you can access the system.
Project Web App, by the way, is the web-based user interface to Project Online. Hope this helps.

Dale,
Thanks for the additional detail! I am still trying to get access to PWA. I will let you know when I can get there and look around.

meperlman - It just dawned on me that even though you said you are using Project Online, you might actually be using Project for the Web. When you created your projects, did you use a web-based user interface that looks something like this?
If yes, you are using Project for the Web and NOT Project Online. And in that case, you can disregard my comments about Project Web App and the Timeline view in the Project Center page. The answer to your question is that you cannot apply much in the way of formatting to the Roadmap application. Hope this helps.
- Dale, you are correct, I was using Project for the Web and the project does look like the image you show. So, I should use Project Online instead? How do you get access to Project Online so that I can create the MS project there? If I have access to PWA will that give me access to Project Online?

First of all, you would need to have a Project Plan 3 license or higher. And second, someone in your organization would need to create the Project Online instance and then configure it for use. And third, you would need to install the Microsoft Project desktop application. My advice? Just keep using Project for the Web and the Roadmap application. Hope this helps.
