SOLUTION - PROGRAM MANAGEMENT - Issue in creating ItemType just like the Project ItemType

ArasPMP - Friday, May 4, 2012 6:22 PM:

Hello everybody!!!

We create a new ItemType called "Project Ventas" and we need it to working just like the ItemType "Project", when we compare one to another, its completely the same; same properties, same Relationship (creating new itemtypes calling "Project VentasTeam", "Project Ventas Part", "Project Ventas Tree", "Project Ventas Docs" and obviously the relationship), Same Views (Creating new forms "Project Ventas", "PMVentas_projectonadd", with the same properties like their similar), same actions, same lyfecicle, same client events, same permissions......

We also made methods for those who is involving the itemtypes mentioned, replacing the names, with the new ones.

I show the problems presented when i try to make a new Number in the "Project Ventas"

  • Shows the form "PM_projectonadd" and not the new one "PMVentas_projectonadd" and also in the scheduling type dont show anything, and only work when i first open a new project in "Project" ItemType and then the "Project Ventas" Itemtype

  • In the second form (When i confirm the settings in the form above) in the textbox "Numero de Proyecto" its not blocked....and another thing more important its in the Tab Project Plan....because dont show the elements and nothing at all, when in the others tabs its working normally.

 

Can anybody tell me what im missing to do??

Thank you in advanced!

I suggest that there are calls inside the methods that look for specific, hard coded, form names and also the "Project Plan" tab looks to an external HTML file which loads Project Items not your Project_ventas items.

I'm sure there is a good reason for duplicating all of this and not just using the original but it seems like a lot of work and could be tricky to make sure you get it 100% right. There may even be some functions that you can't change due to some code that is in .dll files that support the Gantt Chart etc.

Hope this helps,

Brian.
