Auto update field based on change in another

$

Hello,

I have created a custom cost field which I would like automatically copy to the normal cost field every time I change it.

I've found articles relating to event handlers but none of the samples seem to work on project 2016

Anyone have some advise?

Thanks


PS 2013 Administrative Time of Type "Work" does not visually highlight overallocation.

$

Hello everyone,

consider the following scenario in Project Server 2013 with the March PU:

  • My project manager gives me a 3-day task, starting Monday, ending Wednesday, 8h/day.
  • In my timesheet, I add 8h Administrative (Working admin time) on Monday and 8h Sick time (Non Work admin time) and save.

Now, my project manager opens the schedule:

  1. My Task is now Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, because Non Work admin time creates a calendar exception. so far, so good.
  2. Checking Resource Usage, I am assigned 16h of work on Monday. 8h Project plus 8h Timesheet work. Good.
  3. However, the 16h is not highlighted in red and the red stick man is not displayed in the Gantt Chart either.
  4. Yes, resource overallocation is set to check/calculate on a day-to-day basis and and adding a task for 0.1h on Thursday will cause overallocation.
  5. Doing the exact same thing on Project Server 2010 with SP1 and CU Feb 2013 will display the red text and stick man everything else stays exactly the same.

Can anyone reproduce this? Is it a bug or feature?

Kind regards,
Adrian


Project Server 2013, minimum bandwidth requirement

$

Hi

We have installed Project Server 2013 for one of our client. they are having two offices, from one office when we access PWA it opens quickly, but if try to open the same site from other office it opens very slowly. And the same is the case when we take RDP of the server.

It's a single box with following configuration:

1. CPU: Intel Xeon, 8 core 3.5 Ghz 

2. RAM: 64 GB

What the network team is saying the bandwidth at the place from where we are getting poor performance is 2Mbps only, in contrast to the 1 Gbps bandwidth at other location.

So what is the minimum bandwidth which is required to access PWA with minimum latency?

Any help is much appreciated...

Thanks

Power BI Team Planner View

Is it possible to get a resource Team Planner view from Power BI Desktop.

The Team Planner view is great in Porject Pro, so having that across all projects would be great.

It wouldn't need to show resource/tasks. but resource/project timephased.

Thanks

Unable to add resources to Resource Plan

$

Hello everyone,

I am working on Project Server 2013 (April 2016 CU).

I am trying to edit a Resource Plan so I open a project plan in PWA and go to "Resource Plan" (in Edit mode). I click on Build Team so that I can add a few resources to it. After adding the resources I click on "Save & Close" and I get a popup stating that the "project is no longer checked out to you".

Looking at Server Settings, I see that the project is checked out to me so the message box is wrong. I was trying to edit in Project Pro but I do not see a place to check the Resource Plan (PP 2013 Enterprise).

Has anyone seen/fixed something similar?

Thank you,

Jack


Thanks, Jack

Conditional formatiing of a power BI chart

Hello,

I have a stacked bar chart with 2 groups, actual cost and baseline cost.

Eventually the actual cost should equal the baseline cost, and at that point i want both groups on the bar to go GREEN.

How would I do this?

Would Project Server be Suitable for an Angular 2 Application?

$
0
0

I am in the very early stages of architecting a planning solution for my client which needs to provide a planning capability tightly integrated into an application which will be available from web browsers on my client's intranet. It is currently my intention to develop the client application in Angular 2 and I plan to build my own ASP.NET Web Api service to provide access to my SQL data. All of the planning functionality would have to be custom written in the web application with a suitably developed SQL schema implemented on the server to suit.

By chance I saw that Microsoft Project Server may be able to provide all of the core project planning functionality on the server and be accessible through RESTful http requests from my Angular 2 web application.

Can anyone please provide any advice or supporting information to clarify if Microsoft Project Server could integrate with a Javascript/Typescript web application enabling me to concentrate on only the client specific business logic in my application and utilise Microsoft Project Server to handle all of the generic project planning functionality via Http requests?

Thank you.


Looking for BCWR (Budgeted Cost of Work Remaining)

$

We're using Project Server 2010. Management has requested a report that shows "budgeted cost of work remaining" (BCWR), since there is not a field (or at least one I can identify) that represents this value, I'm trying to create one in the OLAP CUBE.  It appears that while I have [baseline cost] as a measure in the cube, none of the fields other fields that I can use to back into the  remaining budget are defined measures.

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Shared Hours Task

$

Hello,

Is it possible to have a task with a set amount of hours, that any resource can use.

So for example, if I have a pool of resource's, and on a given day, any of them can work on the task.

So if I had 40 hours allocated to the task, these hours could be used by any of the assigned resources until the hours are used?

One resource may use 20, another 5 and so on.

I also wouldn't want any of these "bucket" hours to show as committed for any of the resources,  as they float between projects.

"Proposed" booking Type

Hello,

Is it possible for any task/assignment that is set as "proposed" to be automatically rescheduled whenever a task/assignment of type "committed" falls on the same period.

I want the committed assignment to take precedence of the proposed ones.

Hi everyone,

I want to modify a specified task using CSOM into C#.

So i developed a method that can do the work but no modifications are made after the call of this method.

This is the code that i am using:

using (csom.ProjectContext cc = new csom.ProjectContext(pwaPath))
            {

                cc.Load(cc.Projects,
                c => c.Where(p => p.Id == guidIdProject).IncludeWithDefaultProperties(
                    pr => pr.StartDate, pr => pr.Id, pr => pr.ProjectResources, pr => pr.Assignments, pr => pr.FinishDate, pr => pr.Owner.LoginName, pr => pr.Tasks, pr => pr.ProjectSiteUrl, pr => pr.PercentComplete, pr => pr.ProjectResources, pr => pr.CustomFields, pr => pr.EnterpriseProjectType
                    )
                );
                cc.ExecuteQuery();

                foreach (csom.PublishedProject pubProj in cc.Projects)
                {

                    csom.DraftProject projCheckedOut = pubProj.CheckOut();

                    var tasks = projCheckedOut.Tasks;
                    var draftProject = pubProj.CheckOut();
                    cc.Load(draftProject.Tasks, c => c.Where(field => field.Id == guidIdTask));

                    cc.ExecuteQuery();

                    foreach (var task in draftProject.Tasks)
                    {
                        task.Start = Convert.ToDateTime(txtDateStart.Text);
                        task.Finish = Convert.ToDateTime(txtDateFinish.Text);

                    }
                    projCheckedOut.Publish(true);
                    csom.QueueJob qJob = cc.Projects.Update();
                    csom.JobState jobState = cc.WaitForQueue(qJob, 200);
                }

Do you have a solution?

How to update user after AD account disabled

Why are Rejected Engagements included in the Heatmap?

$
0
0

Using Project Server 2016 (not Project Online)

Despite the fact that the "Capacity and Engagements Heatmap" View in PWA Capacity Planning states:

"View the discrepancies between resource capacity and committed engagements for these resources."

the view is including Rejected (& Proposed) Engagements along with Committed. Is this a bug or am I missing somethings? I can't see why you would ever want to see Rejected Engagements here.

Additionally, it would be VERY nice if you could choose to see Proposed Engagements or not. That would allow the Resource Manager to see how the resources are doing with Committed Engagements, then view what will change if they approve the Proposed Engagements.

Thanks in advance for the help.

No updates in custom text field in Project Prof 2016 after update in Tasks center in PWA.

$

Hello everybody!

I work in Project Server 2013 and Project Prof 2016 on-prem environment. September 2016 updates are installed for SharePoint and Project Server 2013.

1) I've created custom text field "Deviation
Reason". Entity: Task, Type: Text. Set option: Roll down, unless manually specified.

2) Then I added this field ("Deviation Reason") in Project Professional 2016 view and entered for task1 "Test" in this field. Publish Project.

3) After that I opened Tasks center in PWA and see "Test" for Task1 in the field "Deviation Reason" (the field has been added in Tasks view previously).

4) Then I updated "Test" to "Test (updates)" in Tasks center and send task for approval.I approved Task.

5) Then I opened Project Professional 2016, but in the field "Deviation Reason" was still "Test", there were no updates from Tasks center in the field "Deviation Reason".

How to see updatesin Project Prof for custom text field which were filled in Tasks center in PWA?

Thanks in advance,

Gleb Bocharov.
