Showing WBS numbers in the Projects view on MS WPA?

[Jean-Pierre Abello]

Is there a way to show the WBS numbers in the Gantt charts under the
Projects view in Microsoft Project Web Access (WPA)? Thanks

To display the WBS field in the task sheet portion of any detailed Project
view in Project Web Access, you will need to ask your Project Server
administrator to do the following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Manage Views link
4. Select any tasks view in the Project section of the data grid (such as
the Tasks Summary view)
5. Click the Modify View button
6. Select the WBS field and copy it to the Displayed fields list
7. Select the WBS field and use the Up or Down button to move it into
position in the table
8. Click the Save Changes button

Steps 4-8 will need to be repeated for each Project view in which you wish
to see the WBS field. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the response Dale.
I followed your instructions and was able to add the WBS field to my
view.
However the contents of that column are completely empty (I not seeing
any of the numbers that should be displayed for the WBS). Any idea
what might be going on there? Thanks

When you click Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan, does this populate the
WBS field in PWA? Let us know.

Thanks for the advice. I now able to add the WBS to the "Project" views.
However I cannot find how to add the WBS to the "Tasks" views...
Are they also under "Admin / Manage Views" or somewhere else?
Thanks.

Strange: Now I can see the WBS column in the "Tasks" views, but its
contents remain empty. Republishing all information from the client
does not appear to do anything. Any suggestions? Thanks.
