How do I display my published MS Project in the actual Workspace S

[Lou]

I published my project - it shows up in Project Central - good. It
automatically created a workspace site, which I have customized to my liking
(added nav bars at the top etc.). Risks, issues, documents etc. are all
accessible in this workspace site, but I can't seem to figure out how to show
the actual full MS project in the site. I want my team to come to the
workspace site to see everything, including the schedule (as opposed to just
seeing their tasks in My Tasks or having permission in Project Central). Am
I missing something really obvious?!

This is an excellent question. As the project manager of this project, the
Project Workspace default permissions allow you to add the Project Details
web part into the Project Workspace home page. While in the Project
Workspace home page, do the following:

1. Click the Site Actions pick list menu (upper right corner) and choose
Edit page.
2. At the top of the Left drop area, click the Add a Web Part button.
3. In the Add Web Parts to Left dialog, scroll down to the Miscellaneous
section.
4. Select the Project Details web part and click the Add button.
5. In the Project Details web part, click the Project pick list and select
the project name, if necessary.
6. In the upper right corner of the page, click the Exit Edit Mode button
(DO NOT click the X button in the Project Details web part).

All users should now be able to see the project in the Project Details web
part, and then can select any View available to them for that project. Hope
this helps.

Dale - thank you so much - I'm sure you've heard this before but I actually
ended up figuring it out just before you responded. Would you mind though,
helping me with one more thing? I've got the project details showing -
great. However, it doesn't show all the columns I'd like to see (e.g:
resourced assigned, % Complete). Normally its possible to edit the view (in
a typical list or webpart) but this doesn't seem possible. What do I need to
do to display the columns I want (which don't come with the canned views it
gives me)?

Thanks!

The Project Server administrator must log into PWA with administrator
permissions, click Server Settings - Manage Views, and create a new custom
Project view containing the columns you want users to see. And congrats on
figuring out how to add the Project Details web part! Hope this helps.
