Unique Project ID

[Kris Sham]

We are migrating from a different project management system to Microsoft Project Online and Project Pro. I could not find any references ot project id (I see references to unique id for tasks, but not for projects.). Does anyone use project identifiers in your projects, or do you just refer to projects by their names?

Kris,

This is a common need for many organizations. There are two options currently.

This was written by a Project Product Manager and is meant to show integration between InfoPath, Project and workflow. http://epminfopath.codeplex.com/
This solution is a bit more straightforward to implement but might meet your needs. http://epmxperts.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/generate-unique-id-for-project-using-a-webpart/

I hope this helps!

Treb,

Thanks for the information. We are migrating to Project Online, so some of these solutions may be different for us than the way described?
