已答覆 Adding Customized Project Information (Attributes)

    Hi,

    I'm using Project Server 2010 beta with PWA.

    Could anyone help me with the following questions about customized project fields?

    1.  I have multiple projects, each project has its priority. Where should I store this priority information for the project? Since priority is commonly used information, I guess it should be a default field for a project. But I couldn't find it in PWA. Am I missing something here?

    2. I have some other related information for each project that I need to enter, for example, Equipment, Target Customers. Does Project Server 2010 PWA allow me to create those attributes for the project?

    Thanks,

    Wei

    You can achieve that by creating Project custom fields and potentially leveraging lookup tables to assign specific metadata to each project. Go to Server Settings -> Enterprise Data - > Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables to define these attributes.

    Thanks, I can now create customized fields!

    When I try to define "Priority" as the customized field name, I got the following:

    The custom field could not be saved due to the following reason(s):
    • The custom field name is a reserved name.

    Is this reserved name "Priority" being exposed to end-user? If yes, I don't need to define it, but instead using the existing one. Could you let me where I can find this "Priority" attribute in PWA.

    Thanks

    Hello, yes since its a reserved name please create one similar like: "Project Priority" for instance

    Great. Thanks for clarifying this!

    Now I have defined "Project Priority" in Server Settings -> Enterprise Data - > Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables.

    I click "Configure Columns..." in Project Center > Project Name > Open Menu. It opens up a dialog. The dialog lists all the existing columns being used in the project, but I don't see the customized field "Project Priority" in the list. Where can I locate"Project Priority" so that I can use it in the project?

    Thanks,

    Wei

    you have to add the newly created field to the Project Center view (Server Settings -> Manage Views)

    Wow, I see the customized column in the project. Thanks!

    However, the value of this customized column and others are READ ONLY. How can I get into the EDIT mode to change the value of this column? BTW, I didn't do any check-in for this project I just created.

    Thanks

    To edit the project level custom fields you've created you must create project data pages that contain the fields, Server Settings/Workflow and Project Detail Pages/Project Detail Pages and let us know how you get on. We should be blogging on this soon on the Project Blog.

    Hope this helps...pc
