People Picker Field on a PWA 2013 Detail Page?

[Nick Pallotta]

Hello MPUG Community,

I wanted a to create a field at our project details page where a backup contact could be selected (not typed). Lets just call it “secondary owner”. Without listing 1000 names in a lookup table (if that’s even possible), is it possible to add a field that behaves the same way the owner field does in that it allows me (or a project owner) to select a backup owner?

Ideally, that backup owner could inherit rights to modify but I’m ok with just being able to add a similar field for now. I’m a fairly new PWA admin with no elevated rights beyond PWA.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Nick, there are some third party tools that can help with this. FluentPro has a couple of utilities that can help with this. You might also check out any Project Server apps (I haven’t tried recently but they are updated frequently).

Thanks Larry,

It does look like one of these might help at fluent Pro. I didn’t see anything at the Project Server Apps site. I’ll have to engage my SharePoint Administrator now. Thank you!
