Adding a List similar to Issues and Risks that appears in the PWA of new project

B

Bashar Adas

Is there a way to add a separate list just like issues
and risks where you can (add/Modify/Delete/View) items -
just like issues and risks-? Also is there a way to
reflect this change to all the projects when we access
them through project web access?



I have read the Project server 2003 SDK and implemented
the new Site Definition example and manipulated the XML
files but I didn't get any satisfying results. The only
example that worked well with me is the FSO example.



I hope I am not pushing too hard on you; but I think
there is a way to do this since the alternative is
building it from scratch which doesn't make use of the
project server and WSS features.

My posting forms less than 20% of the whole solution, you
need to manipulate the XML files because they will be
changed and do some work on the db.I dont belive in spoon
feeding; you should do your own part of programing and
customization.

Belive me it was not straight foreward; i sweated alot to
find the complete solution, and as a tip you should learn
CAML to complete this.

I hope i showed you the right way to complete the
solution and to reply to others.
