Change Look & Feel of PWA

[BVM]

Hi:

I heard Project Web Access allows you to change the look & feel, even you can replace the Office Project Web Access image on the left hand side of the screen by your company logo. Is this true?

Thanks,

Dennis Huang

On PWA, point to Site Actions --> Site Settings --> Title,
description, and icon.
There you can specify the url of your company logo.

Thanks, Nicolas. I have tried that. It works. Now I want to hide the Quick
Launch menu(menu on the left) and change Project Center text to something
else. I looked through the site settings, but cannot find any option to do
this. Is this can be done or not?

Thanks,

Dennis Huang

Neither of these can be accomplished through site settings.

I can hide menus from Server Settings. I can change the menu item "Project
Center" to something else. But the header on the right-hand side still says
"Project Center", not the one I've changed. Any idea to solve this problem?

Thanks,

You need to edit the page using Visual Studio.

Really?

Does it mean I can add my own pages/Business Logic to the Project Server?
Project Server is quite generic, I want to add my own stuff to make it
specific on one business, say the building industry.

Also in Project Server, one project seems can only have one schedule(Task
Schedule). But in our business, one project can have more than one schedule.
Can Project Server be changed to cope with this.

Thanks,

Dennis Huang

Dennis:

The entire Office suite of products, and all Microsoft products for that
matter, are both out-of- box products and highly extendible. So, the answer
is "yes, but." I put the "but" in there because sometimes you will find
yourself traveling down a dead-end road when you start making changes.
Paraphrasing the popular prayer, you need courage to change the things you
can, the serenity to deal with what you can't change, and the wisdom to know
the difference.

Project handles multiple schedules by rolling them up into a master plan.
This construct is supported without Project Server, but Project Server makes
it highly collaborative.
