Re: Adding a new Group By for the Opening a Project

Gareth --

If you are using Project Server 2003, your Project Server administrator needs to create a custom enterprise Project outline code field for this purpose. If you are using Project Server 2007, the Project Server administrator needs to create a custom enterprise field with a Lookup Table containing the information on which you want users to be able to group. Please note that in either case, your users still need to manually apply grouping in the Open from Project Server dialog. Hope this helps.

Hi Jan

We have 50+ projects at our site so we want to create a "group by" by
department for example using some of the Enterprise Project Outline Codes.
This will make it quicker for users to find the project they want to open.

For example the project list would be by Enterprise Project Outline Code2 in
whcih we have department resonsible. The list would then show as:-

Department A
Project A
Project C
Department B
Project B etc...

It looks like this should be possible via some configuration. The Actual
setup of the values for the outline codes is performed in the Enterpise
Global project but I can't see how I can create a new 'Group By' when
selecting a project from th eopen projects box.

Thankyou

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

I'm afraid I need a little more explanation here.
Do you really want to create a new group when opening a project? This can be
done in VBA but I fail to see the need. Why then? Why not prepare the group
and store it?.
Or do you want to introduice a group into the project? Or simply apply one?

Greetings,
