Show custom fields in Tasks View in PWA

R

Roxane

Hello,

In Project Pro, I have customized fields for a project that contain
instructions on how to perform assigned tasks. These customized fields do
not show up in PWA in the TASKS view, so the assigned resources do not know
how to perform assigned tasks. How do I get these customized fields in PP
to show in PWA?
P.S. Resources do not have PP(Project Pro) only PWA.
Thanks

In order to get the customized fields to show up on the Tasks page in PWA,
you will need to "push" the fields to PWA through publishing. Here's what
you will need to do to make this happen:

1. Open Microsoft Project 2002 and log into Project Server with Project
Manager permissions
2. Open the first project requiring these custom fields
3. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
4. In the list on the left side, select the fields you wish to "push" to
PWA, and copy them to the list on the right side
5. Click OK when finished
6. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments, and then click OK

The new fields will appear on each team member's Tasks page on the far right
end of the Task List (left half of the screen). Each user will need to
manually drag and drop the columns into place on their Tasks page as they
see fit.

If you wish for team members to see these same custom columns for every
project, you will need to repeat these steps for each project separately,
and will also need to add these custom fields to each project template as
well. Hope this helps.
