EPM 2007 Workspaces

[MikeN]

As a part of our project management methodology we have a standard sharepoint
workspace that we use for project startups. I many cases we may have many
project schedules that may go out several years. When you publish a project
plan users are given the option to create a workspace (we don't want multiple
workspaces for the same project). Is there a way to turn that off?

 

[Jonathan Sofer]

Once you have attached a workspace to the project you should not receive the
option to create another workspace so you won't run into a scenario where
multiple workspaces are created for the same project. This can't happen.
But as long as there is not workspace published with the project plan or
attached to it via PWA>Server Settings>Project Workspaces, the PM will
always get the message on publish asking them to create a workspace.

This will happen regardless of what option you choose in the site Project
Workspace Provisioning Settings below:
" Provisioning mode:
- Automatically create a project workspace for each project when first
published to Project Server.
- Allow users to manually create project workspaces in Project Server.
Note: When choosing to allow manual workspace creation, users are not forced
to create a workspace for a project. Workspaces for project proposals and
activities will not be created automatically. "
