In Task Usage or Resource Usage, is it possible to summarize hours by group through Custom Fields?
For example, in Project Professional's Task Usage or Resource Usage, if I use a Custom Field such as Text1 to group tasks and resources, can I then display summarized hours by group in the left-side timesheet column and in the Detail Styles on the right-side time scale?
Calendar View in SharePoint Project Sites
In Project Server, a SharePoint site is created for each project. On that SharePoint site, there's a list of late tasks and upcoming tasks. There is also a Calendar view, but it looks like you have to manually add items to the calendar. How do I make it so that this Calendar will automatically be populated with Upcoming Tasks as shown on the SharePoint web page for each project?
How to download MS Project Plans along custom fileds including data
I have Project plans in project online. I am opening the plan in ms project, custom fields data is getting loaded. But when i try to save the file in local desktop, schedule data is saving but custom fields data is not coming only column names are coming. How to save the file along with task level custom fields with data in local desktop
Can anyone do this?
It’s a spreadsheet for construction activity sprints. I saw one in a work group and am trying to recreate it, but I haven't had any luck so far. I imagine it involves a formula; if it were manual, it would be a real hassle to have to enter the days of the week in the columns. If anyone knows how to set this up and could send me a file to study, I’d be very grateful!
Getting Work Contour in Project for the Web
Hi In Project for the Web, the new Assignments view has been released recently. We would like to get to that data for reporting, for heatmaps and other reports. I've figured out that the Project for the Web schedule page reads from the PSS API using this call to actually read it: /pss/api/v1.0/projects(projectid)/assignments/?$select=taskId,percentWorkComplete,resourceId,work,start,finish,totalWorkContour&$startDate=2022-12-01T00:00:00.000Z&$endDate=2022-12-08T00:00:00.000Z&$segmentLengthInHours=24 It uses updateWorkContour to then update. I've found msdyn_UpdateAssignmentEffortContour in the Resource Assignments bound actions in Power Automate, and msdyn_PssUpdateResourceAssignmentContourV1 in the unbound actions. Of course, those don't help me, because I need to know what the current values are before trying to update them, or what I actually want to do to which is report. We initially thought that the data is stored on the msdyn_resourceassignment table, in msdyn_plannedwork, but realised that it only stores Remaining Work, once you start changing the progress on the assignment the completed days goes away. Does anyone know if there's a way to read the data using the DataVerse API? There's nothing I can find in the CSDL $metadata eitherData access after Project Online (PWA) retirement
As the retirement of Project Online (PWA) approaches, some questions have come up regarding what will happen to the data and related content. I’d like to ask if anyone has information or guidance on the following points: What happens to the data currently stored in Project Online after the retirement date? Will this data still be available for viewing, export, or migration after that date? If so, for how long? Regarding the SharePoint sites linked to PWA, will they remain available? Will it still be possible to access or modify their content? Does Microsoft plan to publish official guidance on this transition? Any references or practical experiences on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
MS PROJECT 2019 UPDATE and Purchasing Options
HI We are currently using Microsoft Project Professional 2019 desktop version, but we are facing challenges with its reporting limitations. Specifically, the software can only display a maximum of 75 rows in its reports. As our weekly reports often exceed this limit, we find ourselves spending considerable time on manual entries. For our monthly reports, we can manage the filtering process to avoid this limitation, but the weekly reports require a hierarchical structure to display task statuses, and unfortunately, there is no workaround for this constraint. While researching this issue, I found discussions indicating that the 2025 version of Microsoft Project can display up to 150 rows, which would help us address our challenges. I have a couple of questions: 1. Does the new version of Microsoft Project 2025 indeed support the display of up to 150 rows? 2. What is the best approach for upgrading: subscription or standalone? 3. Could you provide pricing information and tell us where we can obtain it? Thank you! Best regards, Teshome HPU PMO Office
