Answers inline below, BUT - I gather from all your questions that you are
trying to create a project custom field that no other project can see/use
except yours. I would ask why you need this. You can control whether people
can see the values assigned or not via that entity's permissions (project,
resource, etc.). But why do you not want people to see that there is a
enterprise custom date field defined for projects? If what you need is for
project managers to not populate that field because it will mess up reports
or something, then hopefully asking them not to do so is enough. But if
not, then you can always create an event handler to strip values where you
don't want/need them. But this route is much more involved...

hi all
in pwa- server seting-manage view - when i create a new view in project
center
in the list of Available fields i find the fildes Date1-Date10
1)where i can create this fildes ?i try in project pro in tools-
customize-fildes but i can't when i chose a projects as Entity
[sharry]: These fields are already in the product. You don't need to create
them. I guess the limitation here is that you can't alter the definition of
these fields. But you can still populate values for them. See my response
to the next question for more...
2)for whish entity (task,resource,project) theses field(Date1-Date10) are
assigned ?
[sharry]: projects/tasks/resources - you just need to be in the appropriate
view to set the values for the appropriate entity:
for projects: show the project summary task in the Gantt Chart view by going
to Tools | Options | View tab, then put a check in "show project summary
task". Then insert the Date1 field in the Gantt Chart view (or whatever
field you want), and enter the value you want for the project summary task.
Note that fields you populate on the project summary task are not quite the
same thing as a project custom field. I think that's where the confusion on
this thread is coming in.
for tasks - do the same thing as above for the project summary task, but
enter the values on the task, not on the project summary task.
for resources - go to the Resource Sheet view and insert the Date1 field (or
whatever field). Remember there is a difference between editing local
resources and enterprise resources, however.
3)when i can creat a Entreprise Project custom date?
[sharry]: If you want a Enterprise Project Custom Field (which is different
from the above Date1 example which is populated on the project summary
task), then Dale is correct in that the ONLY way to accomplish this is by
creating an enterprise custom field via PWA. Follow his earlier
instructions if this is what you are trying to do.
4) i find that Project Server 2007 does not include custom field access
control in categories.
where i can include custom field access?
[sharry]: I believe that this is not possible - there are no category
permissions for custom fields, only global permissions. If I find out
differently, I will reply again with instructions for doing this.
5)when i creat a entreprise custom filde assigned for Projects.are
this (entreprise custom filde )shared for all Projects in server?
[sharry]: Yes, but each project can have its own value assigned. Meaning,
the field is available for all projects, but values are assigned
independently on each project.
if yes how i can creat a custom fieldes assigned for one and only one
Project in server? [sharry]: You can't.
thx
