Grouping in PWA

[Prasanna Adavi]

All,

I am trying to figure out a way for customizing the default grouping method in PWA. here is an example:

Lets assume we are using the "Category" field for grouping the projects in the "Summary" view of Project center.

If I have a scenario where, projects fall into only one category at a time, my view would show like

Category 1
--- Project 1
---- Project 2

Category 2
--- Project 3
---- Project 4

However, if I have a scenario, where a project falls under two categories, then I end up with something like this:

Category 1
--- Project 1
Category 2
--- Project 3
---- Project 4
Category 1, category 2
----- Project 2

This kind of messes up what we are trying to do, so is there any way we can do somnething like this in this scneario:

Category 1
--- Project 1
----Project 2
Category 2
--- Project 2
---- Project 3
---- Project 4

Thank you for you help.

There is no way to work around this issue, as it is the default way that
Grouping works in both Microsoft Project and in PWA. Since you have
projects that are part of two categories in your example, the system creates
a separate category for projects that are the multiples. So, you have to
live with it. Hope this helps.
