Organizational Help

[jhalterm]

We are a door company using MS Project 2003 Professional with the server and
web access. We have tons and tons of projects and few resources and I am
trying to get them organized.

I would like to organize our projects by type of door (Stile and Rail or
Thermal Fuse) and then by date the doors are to ship from our plant. I was
thinking maybe puting the file in the month it is due to ship. I can not
figure out how to add folders to project server to organize my stuff better.

Can someone help me please.

Project does not use folders. Instead use "enterprise Outline Code".

You will then be able to filter on those. For example, we have yearly
projects, so I create an Enterprise Outline Code with values of "2004"
"2005", and so on. I then opened each project file and in the Project
Information window assigned the proper value to each project.

Now, when connecting to the Project Server, I have the ability to see only
"2005" projects.

I hope this helps.

You cannot create folders in the Project Server database. To categorize
your projects, you should consider using either custom enterprise Project
fields or outline codes. Hope this helps.
