Web Access View Header Problem

[Errin]

[I am re-posting because my first post did not go through]

When I create a view in Project Web Access (Project Server)
and I import a Custom Field I have created in my
Enterprise Global File it leaves the literal name of the
field instead of the one that I named it.

[Under Tools, Customize, Enterprise Fields...] Custom
Fields, (Field: Task, Type: Number) I created a custom
field "Over Budget" on (Enterprise Number1).

It is a calculated field with Graphical Indicators.

When I import it into my view, the header name is
not "Over Budget" but is Number1.

How do I change this header name in Project Web Access to
reflect "Over Budget" and not "Number1".

Thanks for your help,

In order for enterprise custom fields to display correctly in PWA, you need
to publish the project to PWA by clicking Collaborate - Publish - Project
Plan, or Collaborate - Publish - All Information. The formal act of
publishing "pushes" your enterprise custom fields to PWA, including both the
field name (header) and the values in the field. The information that you
are currently seeing in PWA comes from saving the project in the Project
Server database, but as you can see, it does not display enterprise custom
fields correctly. Hope this helps.

The way I have found to work is when you insert the field
into your Ent Global Template, change the name at that
point. The name that you change it to is the name that
displays in the PWA. Any one else feel free to pipe in.
