Microsoft Project Server Options

Microsoft Project Server options are used to configure the interaction between Microsoft Project Server, Microsoft Project, and the Plug-in for PPM. Use this option to set the project calendar used from the Microsoft Project Server.

Setting the Microsoft Project Server Calendar for the Plug-in for PPM

If a Microsoft Project file is stored on a Microsoft Project Server, the calendar used by the Microsoft Project file is also stored on the Microsoft Project Server. You can configure the Plug-in for PPM to use one of the existing project calendars on the Microsoft Project Server. If you do not configure a calendar (either by not selecting the checkbox or not typing a calendar name), a default calendar, based on the language configured for Microsoft Project, is used.

Set the Microsoft Project Server calendar for the Plug-in for PPM if you are required to use a specific project calendar on the Microsoft Project Server for the Plug-in for PPM. In Project Management-controlled mode, the Plug-in for PPM must be configured to use a calendar on the Microsoft Project Server. The calendar is used by the Plug-in for PPM to synchronize task information during integration.

The following fields are used to configure the Microsoft Project Server calendar used by the Plug-in for PPM.
