PS7 - Custom Resource Field in Project Center

[CQ]

It was suggested that I post my question here:

I have a custom field in my Resource information. I want to see that
field in a view in PWA Project Center - which would require it to be at
Project
level. Different resources will have a different values and so I will
have to somehow summarize all of the custom fields. So, the question is:
How do I get a custom Resource Field to show up in the Project Center
View?
Thanks.

As I think you were told in the server group: you can't. You will need to
write code (hence suggestion to post here) to summarize Resource data for
the project.

So what rules are there for a summary? What happens when you have two or
more resources on a task, how does that data get rolled up? How does data
get rolled up to summary tasks? You can't write code for this unless you
have hard and fast rules.

What is the information. Hours can easily be summed, but things like skill
cannot unless you assign arbitrary numbers for the skill then you can
average them.
