PWA Made Easy

Project Made Easy’s PWA Made Easy app allows you to provide PDF job aids to your team members within Project Server. This is especially helpful if your organization is new to Project Server, but does not want to spend thousands on customized training.

When installed, your users will be able to see the Help button shown on the various pages found within Project Web App. From here they can view the different job aids available. The Help button is contextual based on the page that you are currently viewing. For example, clicking the Help button found on the Timesheet page will only display job aids related to the Timesheet page’s features.
