Web Parts - Default Categories

C

Chris

Hi guys.

Quick question. We have five default categories on Project Server 2007:
My Organization
My Projects
My Resources
My Tasks
My Personal Tasks

My question is, when adding web parts to a page, I only see "My Tasks" as an
option to add to the page. Am I missing something? How can I get those
others to become web parts?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Chris --

The default Categories you list control security access to Project Server
2007 features and functionality. They have NOTHING to do with Web parts.
You add Web parts to the actual PWA pages. You don't add Categories to a
page, as this is simply not possible. Your confusion probably lies in the
fact that the My Tasks page shares the same name as the My Tasks category.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale.

That makes sense, but I wasn't quite sure.

The trouble now is my boss wants just that type of view. In other words, he
wants a simple page that list:

His tasks
His Projects containing those tasks
Any projects he's responsible for

Nice and neat/simple. He likes the My Tasks web part and wants the same
type of view for My Projects and My responsible Projects. How can we display
these without him having to apply filters or change views?

Again, thanks for the help. I appreciated the prompt response.

Technical issues, especially using Web parts, are not my speciality. I
would kindly ask you to repost this question as a new question in the
newsgroup so our technical folks can take a stab at it. Sorry I can't be of
more help, but at least I got you moving in the right direction.
