Issues and Risks on the main Project Web Access page

[Huckey]

Hi all,
the main Project Web Access page displays the number of Active
Issues and Risks for users logging in there. How does the system
determine which issues/risks are active?

I am asking this because I noticed that when we changed settings on
the Status column in our Issues list, the system no longer correctly
shows the number of active issues. Instead of the default set of
values we now have:
(1) Created
(2) Active
(3) Parked
(4) Solved
(5) Closed.

It seems that the system is only taking issues with status (1)
Active into consideration. How can I make the system include issues
with statuses (1) to (3) in the count of active issues on the main
Project Web Access page?

I'm afraid tis is not possible.
If you want to have the issue/risk count correctly on the home page, my
suggestion is not to override the default options, but rather create an
extra meta data field for issues and risks to report on. Something like
'Reason' with possible values 'Parked' and 'Solved'.
Another solution is to develop your own web part and place it on the
homepage.

I hope this helps,
Hans

As Hans quite rightly says this is hard coded and I would not recommend
changing it either. Having said this, you can certainly add fields ( as you
have done), but they want come up as active Risks and Issues. You would have
to develop your own Risks and Issues web part to incorporate your fields,
which I am sure is fairly timeconsuming.
Hope this helps
