PRJ2000: Custom Views Are Not Visible or Fields Are Missing After You Customize View
This article was previously published under Q296176
SYMPTOMS
When you customize the view that workgroup members use to see project information in Microsoft Project, those custom views may not be visible, or some fields may be missing when a workgroup member views that project information in Microsoft Project Central.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the fields used in the custom view have not been added to the
Fields in Workgroup Messages list.
When a task is assigned to a workgroup member, only those fields in the
Fields in Workgroup Messages list are available for use in custom views.
To view the
Fields in Workgroup Messages list in Microsoft Project 2000, point to
Customize on the
Tools menu, and then click
Workgroup.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, add the fields that you want to the
Fields in Workgroup Messages list. After you do this, these fields are stored in the Microsoft Project Central database and are then available to workgroup members. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Microsoft Project 2000, and then open the project that you want.
- On the Tools menu, point to Customize, and then click Workgroup.
- In the Customize Workgroup dialog box, click the field that you want in the Available Fields list, and then click the right-arrow button (>) to add the field to the Fields in Workgroup Messages list.
- Repeat step 3 for each field that you want to add to the Fields in Workgroup Messages list, and then click OK.
- On the Tools menu, point to Workgroup, and then click Update Project to Web Server.
- When the project information has been successfully updated, click OK.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
