Version field shows only Published in PWA Project Center

[jlbreyer]

I'm trying to work out how to use versions in Project Server 2003.
As admin, I set up a sequence of versions. I then saved a file as Version
1. When I open the file in Project Pro, the title shows as ...Version 1.
When I open the Open... dialog box in Pro, the list shows the original
Published Version and the Version 1 version. When I add the Version field to
a view in PWA Project Center, I see only the Published version. I double
checked that no filters are active, AFAIK. I figur I must be doing something
wrong, but what?

You need to publish a version to make it visible. Also, know that these are
snapshots in time, and that you cannot suddenly switch between versions.

Gary,

Do you know if there is a Group permission that can turn off the abilty to
create Versions?

Spiro:

As an administrator, all you need to do is not create any versions in the
system. If you do not create them, users cannot use them.

Gary, help me out here ...

How do you mean, 'do not create any versions in the system'?

I don't know how they were created in the first place besides through MS Pro.

If they've been created, how does one stop from having them created any
further?

Thanks in advance,
Spiro.

Log on as administrator
Go to the Admin menu
Select Manage Enterprise Features from the menu on the left
Select Versions from the actions pane in the upper left

Note, you must delete all files using each version designation before you
can delete the version designations themselves.
