Bulletins / Announcements

Question

Is it possible to set up an area on MS Project 2010 to show informational messages to the end users when they log on?  We're looking to inform the users when new reports are available or  when time periods will be closed , etc. 

Answer 1

Steve,

If you create an announcements list within PWA, you can drop the Announcements web part on the home page.

Is actually fairly easy to do.

1. From PWA, Site Actions, View All Site Content.
2. Click Create
3. Select Announcements
4. Enter a Name of Announcements and select More Options to change the radio button to not show in Quick Launch
5. Click OK and the list appears
6. Click on the List tab
7. Select Modify View
8. Uncheck Attachments
9. Under Style, select Boxed No Labels
10. Click OK
11. Go to PWA Home page
12. Go to Site Actions, Edit Page
13. Click Add a web part
14. Select Announcements
15. Select the web part checkbox and Edit Web Part properties
16. Change Selected View to All Items
17. Under the Appearance section, change Chrome Type to Title Only
18. Click OK
19. Unfortunately, the column headings will still appear, so you can use the technique from here to hide it: http://www.sharepointben.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=430
20. Click Add a Web Part
21. Under Media and Content, select Content Editor
22. Click the "Click here to add new content"
23. In the markup section of the Format Text tab, select the HTML button on the right and select Edit HTML Source
24. Paste in the code from the blog post
25. Click ok until back to page
26. Select the Stop Editing Page button under the Page tab.
27. It should appear as below.

Hope this helps.
