Creating custom Project ID

S

Sindre

Hi!

I would like to create a custom field containing a unique project ID,
preferably an autoincremented number starting at a chosen value. This would
be easily achievable by using a formula if a fitting built-in project ID
field already existed, but I cannot find such a field. Does anyone know of
such a field, or alternatively another way of creating the desired project ID
field?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

There is no filed in Project Server that can be used like this. But in
Project Server 2003 we used a SQL trigger to populate a custom field based on
the Proj_ID field in the database.

In Project Server 2007 we use a custom code using on the published event to
read and write a new custom table that tracks the Proj_ID GUID and a new
Proj_ID integer, the event code also populates a custom field with the data.

Hope this helps

How difficult is it to set that up. I'm not a programmer but I know in 2003
it was incredibly simple to set that up? Do I first create a table or do I
just write the logic in the New Custom Field formula?
