Create Intake List

Question

I would like to create a list in PWA so that I can have users fill in the information that I need in order to create a new Project. I don't see how to create a new list that is not attached to a project. Any ideas? This seems quite basic. Is this documented somewhere? I could not find on technet.

Answer 1

Following instructions from the Project online.

• Go to the project online root site.
• Go to the site contents from the gear icon.
• You will find a '+ New' option to create a List/Library/App/Subsite.
• The 'List' option used to create a new list.

Make sure you have at least Edit rights on the site.

Let me know if I am out of your questions.

Answer 2

You have mentioned in your question

I would like to create a list in PWA so that I can have users fill in the information that I need in order to create a new Project.

So it's not just a direct custom list, you need + one trick that is "Create Projects Option" as I mentioned below,

• At any site below the PWA root site, Click on the Site Setting icon,
• Select add a new APP.
• Create a custom list with at least the mandatory fields of Project custom fields.
• Add a new item to your list, select your Item.
• From the above ribbon, at Item tab, click on the Create Projects

• Map your list field with your project field in order to create a new Project from list item
