Graphical Indicator for Project Center

DOE

Does anyone know how to set up a graphical indicator on Project Center?
I've set up a stoplight (red, green, yellow) on the Project level for
tasks. Now I'd like to bring it forward to Project Center, indicating
the status of the entire project.
Does anybody know how to do this?

Do the following:

1. Open the Enterprise Global for editing
2. Click Tools - Customize - Enterprise Fields
3. Select the Project option at the top of the dialog
4. Select the same field Type as the task field containing the graphical
indicators
5. Click the Rename button and give the new Project field an original name
6. Click the Import Custom Field button
7. Select the task field that displays the graphical indicators and click
the OK button
8. Click the OK button
9. Save and close the Enterprise Global file
10. Exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional

Performing steps 6-8 above will import a value list, formula, and/or
graphical indicators contained in the task field. After doing the above
steps, you could add the new custom Project field to any Project Center
views in which you wish to see graphical indicators. Your project managers
will also need to open every project and publish the projects using
Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan to "push" the values in the custom
field to PWA. Hope this helps.
