Month Name Scenario Description Presenter

September 2009

Stephen C. Sanderlin, MSProjectExperts

November 2009

Leveraging Project Server Security within SQL Reporting Services Reports

A client has requested a SQL Reporting Services report that displays sensitive financial data. However, they only want executors of the report to see information on projects to which they have access.

Stephen C. Sanderlin, MSProjectExperts

February 2010

Filter Resource and Project data based on Custom Fields

You are creating a custom Windows application for a client that extracts and displays Project and Resource information. Because the PSI provides no way to filter these entities prior to retrieval from the PSI, you must retrieve all of the projects or resources in order to filter them by Custom Field value. Because this  client has some international users on slow WAN links, you must minimize the payload sent to the user by the PSI call.

Discusses a method of extending the PSI to enable the filtering of Resources or Projects by Custom Field values

Stephen C. Sanderlin, MSProjectExperts

April 2010

Exporting Project Server Data to CSV

A client would like to export data from Project Server into a legacy Line of Business system. This system only accepts data in a CSV format.
