47 TopicsWhy does Project still not have a Spell Checker?
I've been using MS Project since 1990 - yep, that far back, and it amazes me that it still does not have a spell checking facility! Especially when I look at how many people in the construction industry cannot spell!! Surely it can't be that hard to add a spell checker to a database? Currently I'm transferring 3000+ line items into Excel to run them through the spell checker and then pasting them back into my programme, which is ridiculous when you think about it... Anyone else also wanting this simple operational capability? Oh, and English English would be nice too... I'm sure more countries in the world speak UK English than US English....14KViews0likes8CommentsHow to delete/remove Team Member from a Project in Project for the Web?
Hello, We're using the Project for the Web accelerator Power App. A bookable resource can be added directly to a Project via the Project's Resources tab or if they're assigned to a Task. When they are added to a Project, they will show up under the Resources tab as a "Team Member" (in the "Project Team Members"/"msdyn_projectteam" table). However, when I try to Delete them from the Project's Resource tab, I get the following error: If I delete all of their Tasks or unassign them from all Tasks, they still show as a Team Member under the Resources table and still cannot be deleted. How can we delete a Team Member from a Project within P4W? Thanks, Adil6KViews1like11CommentsUsing MS Project Online: linking to SharePoint/Planner
Hey MS Project community, First time poster. I have a question concerning integrating MS Project into the suite of PM tools used through Sharepoint. A little background on the issue(s) I'm facing: -I developed my Project tasklist (i.e. activities associated with my project) through the MS Project application (non through the web). -After I finished inputing basic project data, I uploaded the project to the Project online (through a PWA). I am able to edit the project both through the online version and desktop version (and all edits made in either version are reflected in the other. -One of the reasons my company invested in Project was due to the ability to connect it with Microsoft Planner and use our SharePoint teams/groups to help populate project "resources". However, here is where I'm having problems: 1)When I use the desktop version of Project and go to link a task/activity with a specific to-do list in MS Planner, I get a message that says "Cannot create a link". When I use the link to MS Planner option in the desktop version of Project, I am able to see the Planner Group and sub-plans: I just cannot create a link 2) When on the web-based version, I cannot assign resources, deliverables, or attribute risks to my projects. When I attempt to do so, I can a message that "This project is not linked to a site". All the "how to" videos I've sen online (Youtube, Lynda, MasterAcademy) all agree that the Planner needs to be published through the web-app. And then, in order to assign deliverables, there needs to be a "project site". I'm not clear on how to address these two problems (from my understanding, it seems link creating a project site and linking Planner with Project online can be done through the same fix and should solve my problem). Do you all think this is the right approach? Is there another approach? Thanks ahead of time for the suggestions and advise!

I see that the Assigned to Me feature for Project for the Web is still in Preview with an expected general availability in August. We are trying to activate the feature in Preview, but we can’t find it. Which admin center or portal should we be checking? Is it a Power Platform preview feature or maybe a Planner or Teams preview feature? https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Project&searchterms=1173632.5KViews3likes8CommentsMeasure usage of Project Online licenses
Hello, Is there a report or way to measure which users are using their assigned Project Online licenses? We are trying to maximize utilization, and if there are licenses not being used they are candidates to be reassigned. - Regards, Richard2.2KViews0likes4CommentsMigrate all P4TW projects from default environment to new production environment
Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to go about copying the default environment to a new production environment. I had a situation this week where a user deleted a few project records and the only way to recover them was to restore to a backup however, there is no ability to do this on the default environment. Now I am looking for a way to convert all the projects, approx 100, over to a new environment where ill re deploy the project accelerator app but will have to ability to recover deleted projects or restore to a backup. Thank you for your feedback. JoshSolved2.2KViews0likes3CommentsProblems trying to export the project list to excel via Project Server 2016
We're having problems trying to export the project list to excel via Project Server 2016. The logs criticize lack of permission in the registry, but I haven't been able to catch an access denied exception through procmon so far to identify which keys to registry are being accessed at the time of the error. However, when comparing permissions between working farms, I made some permission tweaks, but nothing went right. I tried to redo the SharePoint permissions by running the command "psconfig -cmd secureresources", but it didn't work either. I made sure that the account that runs the application pool and the one that maintains the SharePoint services were in the local security group WSS_WPG.
