Why am I not able to connect to SharePoint?

To open project plans from SharePoint, please follow the steps below:

1. First, enter the URL address of the SharePoint site in File - Open – SharePoint – SharePoint Settings - OK.
2. Go to File - Open SharePoint – Open from SharePoint - SharePoint Site - click OK or edit the link as desired.
3. Type the user and password in the log window.
4. A list of projects available on SharePoint will be displayed, from where you can choose the project you want to access.

There are several ways to open a project from the Open from SharePoint file picker:

1. Double click on a project;
2. Select a project and click Open button;
3. Right-click on a project and select Open in contextual menu;
4. Select a project and click Enter key.

If you type a value in the Percent Complete field, Project Plan 365 automatically calculates actual duration and remaining duration. In this case,

• Actual Duration = Duration * Percent Complete
• Remaining Duration = Duration – Actual Duration.

If you type a value in the Percent Complete field in a summary task, Project Plan 365 automatically distributes the Percent Complete for subtasks. The distribution tries to add Actual Duration equally for each subtask which is scheduled as working starting from the Project Start Date.

For more information, please check our Percent Complete online help article.

To uninstall the Project Plan 365 application, follow the steps below:

1. Windows: Open Start - Control Panel - Programs - Programs and Features. Right-click on Project Plan 365 and then click “Uninstall”.
2. Mac: Select the app icon from the Applications folder, righ-click on it and from the contextual menu select “Move to Trash”;
3. Android: Go to your device’s Settings menu - Apps or Application Manager, select Project Plan 365 and touch the “Uninstall” button.
4. iOS: Hold down the app’s icon in Launchpad until the “Project Plan 365” icon starts to jiggle and then click the app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.

You will be asked if you want to import Team Members in the following situations:

1. You save a project in Drive 365 for the first time and you have Work Resources that are not Team Members.
2. You save an existing project in Drive 365 and you have Work Resources that are not already Team Members.
3. You share a project with people that are not already Team Members.

To import Team Members manually, go to the menu Team – Import Team. A dialog will appear that will contain all Work Resources in the current project that are not Team Members. Once you enter a valid email address for the resources that you want to import, click on the Add Team Members button. Now the imported resources become Team Members.

To set up any .MPP file for Real-Time Collaboration (rTc), follow this procedure:

1. Sign In or Sign Up to the Business (PMO) Subscription using your email & password in Project Plan 365 app.
2. Having the Editor role, open the MPP file that you want to collaborate on with others, and save it to Drive 365 cloud service.
3. Check off the resources you want to include, and then click on the Add Team Members button.
4. Open the project from Drive 365. By default, the .MPP file will open in Exclusive Mode, and in order to collaborate with other team members, go to menu Share – Real-Time Collaboration.
5. Also, you can share the link from your plan with other team members, by using the Share functionality from the Share menu.

The Project Plan 365 Scheduling engine works as described below:

1. First Step: Create a graph where nodes are tasks and edges are precedence relations between tasks and do a topological sort to get the order in which we should process the tasks so we calculate early start and early finish dates.
2. Second Step: Create another graph for successors of tasks and calculate the late start and the late finish dates so we can calculate the real start and finish date of tasks and slack and we can obtain the project duration, finish date and critical path with better accuracy.
3. Third Step: Compute other task fields like cost, work and make sure that resource assignments are calculated correctly.

There are three possibilities you can share your project with your team members or people outside the organization:

1. By using the Share option from the Share - Share menu;
2. By clicking on the Share Project button from the Share bar that appears after opening a file;
3. By going to File menu – Open – My Projects - Drive 365  and in the file picker right-click on the project you want to share and choose Share option from the contextual menu.

Just type the E-mail address and a message, if you want, and click on one of the three options available in the Share Projects with the Team Members dialog: Copy Link, Send as PDF, Send as MPP.For more information, check the Share online help article.

To add resources from the Gantt Chart table, in the Resource Name column, write or select the resource you want to add and set the units or the number of items.To assign resources to tasks in Gantt Chart view, you can import the existing team members from your organization or to add other resources.

1. To assign an existing team member from your organization to a task, in the Gantt Chart view, click on the down arrow in Resource Names field and from the drop-down list, select a team member (marked with an icon).
2. To add a resource that is not a team member, simply insert his name in Resource Names field.

Another way to assign a team member or a resource to a task, is to select a task and go to menu Team - Assign - Team Member / Resource.

To change the working times in your calendar, please go to the menu Project menu - Change Working Time. In the Work Weeks tab, click on the Details button and for each working day, set the working hours. For the specific working times to be applied to your project, don’t forget to go to menu File – Options – Schedule tab and change the “Default start time” and “Default end time” values, as well as “Hours per day” and “Hours per week” values to match the set working times.
