Hello! I have a question about tasks that seem to have time actual values "auto-populate" in them on an employee's timesheets. Basically, when looking at a timesheet in Project Online (PWA), what causes some tasks to automatically show an hour value, when the resource has not yet entered anytime? Where-as other tasks on the same project will not show this automatically populated time, even though they are assigned to the same resource and still have time remaining? I have an example below. Of the three tasks below, all 3 were still active, but only the "Project Management" task is displaying values in the "Actual" field that the resource did not enter? Looking at the task details in the Project Desktop application, all of the tasks are very similar in the Assignment Information. They are all assigned to the same resource, they are all manually scheduled, etc. The only difference that I can see is the "Work Contour" field show as "Contoured" on the task that is auto-populating time values. Whereas the other tasks are set as "Flat". Project Management Task Info: Other Task Info: Would this "Work Contour" field be having the impact described above on the employees' hours on the Timesheet? If so, how/where is "Work Contour" being determined? If something else may be causing the auto-populating values on the Timesheet, I would be happy for any additional information. Thanks!

Project for the Web (P4W) and Project Web App (PWA) cover (today) very different needs. P4W has a more modern approach, technologically, but with a fairly superficial functional coverage. PWA uses legacy technologies but has hundreds of features that P4W doesn't, such as program and portfolio management, better resource management, and more progress measurement options. Sadly, Microsoft seems to be making efforts to get users to switch to P4W, without yet providing P4W with all the necessary functionality. Recently the PWA project center starts showing an icon to create new projects. New projects remain in P4W, without them being able to be managed properly from PWA, creating great confusion and problems among PWA users. Even Project Professional Desktop (part of PWA) has begun to show a decline in the quality of the application. All this would not be a problem if P4W had the depth of functionality of PWA. Do you think it is a correct strategy to start affecting PWA, to ensure a possible migration to P4W?1.2KViews0likes2Commentshow to create a approval workflow for every new baseline in the project?

Hello All, I am exploring Project for the Web and find it quite useful to manage small projects with lesser complexity. Here the Project management is considering only work. Cost is not getting calculated anywhere. Even I didn't find a way to assign a rate to a resource. Can anyone help me out how can we assign rate to a resource and calculate project planned and actual cost? Thanks in Advance.

Dears, Please advice on below issues that we are facing to clear security penetration in one of our implementations. WSDL information publicly available (sites/pwa/_vti_bin/spsdisco.aspx), Is there any way to hide this information and why at first it is visible if it is considered a security threat. ViewState without MAC signature /_vti_bin/_vti_admin/admin.dll directory listing information showing at some end points WebParts Error handling, if web part fails to render can we change the default message to something like please contact administrator, instead of default message that if you have permission to enter web part maintenance page kindly do this and that ... /_vti_pvt/service.cnf how can we block access to this service page Regards,872Views0likes1CommentProject owning team
Hello, I'm trying to add a group to an existing MSTeams-group in Project for the Web, by using Power Automate. So, the owner needs to be the group, which already exists. We face a problem in finding the owner-id, which is unfindable in any of the dataverse-colums. If we create a new group in Project for the Web we can find the owner-id, but if we add it to an existing team in Microsoft Teams we can't. Can anybody help me in telling where I can find the owner-id to automatically add the project to the existing team? Or am I doing it wrong? Thanks!

Hello All, As per Microsoft document P1 license holders can update the plan in Project for the Web and O365 license holders can update the progress on their projects. Here I have two concerns- 1. There is an option to update either the %complete or actual work on a task. This is how the overall progress of the task gets affected. Is there a way where a resource can report their task hours on daily basis. I didn't find a timesheet option in Project for the Web. 2. As the task progress can be updated by any team member with P1 license and no timesheet is there. Now suppose on one project there is team member with P1 license (which is not the project manager). When he logs into the system he is able to update the progress on all the task whether that is assigned to him or not. Is there a way that we can restrict this? Any help would ,be highly appreciated.
