Default view of custom Project Enterprise Outline Code

[Dan Filpus]

I have setup a custom project enterprise outline code for our projects called
JobStatus. The values in the lookup table are either 1-Open, or 2-Archive.
Every time our PM's open a file in Project Pro, they have to go to the top of
the window and choose the JobStatus grouping and then they have to click on
Name to sort it by name within the groupings. I would like both of these
options to happen by default when a PM goes to open a plan in Project Pro.
How can I accomplish this?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Dan --

Bad news, my friend. You can't do that, at least in Microsoft Project
Professional. You can do this, however, in PWA. Make sure you have added
this custom outline code for at least one Project Center view and then apply
Grouping by that field in the View. Your PM's can then navigate to that
view, select their project by clicking anywhere on the project EXCEPT the
project name, and then click the Open button. Hope this helps.
