Incorrect Grouping on PWA Project Level View

W

Wendy

I have a created a PWA view that displays the individual tasks in a project
grouped by a enterprise task level code. The first line of the view shows a
blank line then the project name indented followed by the tasks grouped
correctly. How can I get rid of the first blank group that is the project
name? Is there a filter to make sure the project name does not appear in
this view perhaps. The () in the example below are for descriptions only and
do not appear in the actual view. Here is what is happening:

- (this is blank as there is no enterprise task level field for the project)
Construction Project.published (name of project)
- Design (enterprise task level)
Kick off meeting (task)
Client approval (task)
- Construction (enterprise task level)
Hire company (task)

Here is what I want to see:

- Design (enterprise task level)
Kick off meeting (task)
Client approval (task)
- Construction (enterprise task level)
Hire company (task)
Begin building (task)

Wendy --

You have this problem because you did not apply an enterprise Task outline
code value to the Project Summary Task (Row 0) in your project. Even though
you do not display the Project Summary Task in your project, it is still
present in the project. To solve this problem, you can apply the following
filter to the View:

Summary Equals No

This will restrict the custom View to show regular tasks and milestones only
and will eliminate all summary tasks from the View. If you want summary
tasks to show up in the View, then you must specify an enterprise Task
outline code value in the Project Summary Task by doing the following:

1. Open the project in Microsoft Project Professional
2. Click Tools - Options
3. Click the View tab
4. Select the "Show project summary task" option
5. Click OK
6. Apply any task View that shows your custom enterprise Task outline code
field
7. Set a value in this field for the Project Summary Task (Row 0)
8. Save the project
9. Click Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan and then click OK

Hope this helps.
