Custom Project-level Field to displace the Project's Save Name

[Brian Lukanic]

I want the Project Center view of projects to NOT be a hyperlink to view the
schedule. Reason being that I have a custom hyperlink in a field right next
to that link, and this hyperlink goes to the project's workspace. I have
watched too many of my users intuitively click on the project name thinking
that it would take them to the workspace.

Unless there's a better way, I see two options - both of which I need help on.
1) Option 1: Create a project-level field that is something line
"=filesavename." I don't know if there's a field that I can reference or not.
I am afraid not.
2) Option 2: Somehow write a custom formula that "= line 0" of the project -
which essentially is what the Name field already does, but Project Center
hyperlinks it. Unless there is a setting in Project Server to turn off the
hyperlinks, I'd like to hide the default Name column from the view (or give
it 1 pixel in width,) and then have my new formula re-display the name but
without a hyperlink.

After their intuition proves wrong about 90 or 100 times even the densest of
them will learn not to click on it.
Try changing the view so that your custom hyperlink is separated or more
clearly differentiated. Perhaps make it the first column?

I think that the "Project" field may give you what you are asking for in
number 1.
