Publishing Projects in 2003

[ChrisR]

Users Simply save projects to the Project Server and they
are automatically published to our Project Web Access
Executive and Manger Dashboard views. Tasks are not
published to resources until a PM does so, however,
Project plans that may be a work in progress, not ready to
be published, are still visible in Project Web Access
Project Center Views.

Is there a way to to not have Projects viewable in the
Project Center view until the PM physically does
the "Publish"?

No. Sorry.

Hi Chris,

Whenever a project is checked in, a call is made to publish the plan
regardless of the options set and/or whether or not you physically publish.

As a suggestion, work in offline mode and when you are ready to publish (or
check-in) your project, simply save it back online, close or publish the
plan.

Regards,
Byron

Chris:

Another alternative is to use a custom field, say Enterprise Project Flag 1
and call it "public." Have the PMs set the value accordingly Y/N. Set your
views filters in the Project Center accordingly.
