Dear Siva-pmo


The enterprise global template (enterprise global template: A
collection of default settings, such as views, tables, and fields, that
are used by all projects across the organization. These settings exist
within a special project in Project Server.) is a collection of default
settings, such as views (view: The combination of one or more views
[Gantt Chart, Resource Sheet, and so on] and if applicable, a table and
a filter. Use views to work with information in a variety of formats.
There are three types of views: Charts or graphs, Sheets, and Forms.),
tables (table: A set of columns that shows specific information about
tasks, resources, and assignments in a sheet view.), and fields (field:
A location in a sheet, form, or chart that contains a specific kind of
information about a task, resource, or assignment. For example, in a
sheet, each column is a field. In a form, a field is a named box or a
place in a column.) that are used by all projects across the
organization. These settings exist within a special project on
Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 and are used in all of the
organization's projects. The enterprise global template ensures that
all projects within an organization adhere to standards, such as a
common use of views, tables, and fields.

See this or Project server resource kit if you need to know more about

siva --

The Enterprise Global file is your organization's "library" of custom
enterprise objects such as Fields, Views, Tables, Filters, Groups, etc.
When the Project Server administrator adds a custom enterprise object to the
Enterprise Global file, such as a custom View, every user of Microsoft
Project will automatically be able to access the custom View the next time
he/she launches Microsoft Project Professional and logs into Project Server.
You can also use the Enterprise Global file to specify the default currency
for every project.

When the Enterprise Global is checked out, this means that someone else has
the file open for editing. No one else can open the file until the current
user saves and closes it. Because your question is very basic, please refer
to the following FAQ for information about books and training on Project
Server 2003:

Hope this helps.
