Modify default MS Project Server 2010 Status Report

If would like to modify the default Status Report sections (Major
Accomplishments, Objectives for the Next Period, Hot Issues) in Project
Server 2010 to match those of your organization and to be applied to ALL new status reports created. This modification would eliminate the need to incorporate these
changes for every new status report by click "Add Section". The instructions are as following


Open SQL Server mangment studio
Database: ProjectServer_Published
Table Name: MSP_SR_DEFAULT_SECTIONS

Edit rows , it will be only single row.

Now i believe you know how to edit XML files, but if not then copy paste the default value and add a new section , you can copy paste the old section but don't forget to change the Key value by generating new GUID from http://www.guidgenerator.com/online-guid-generator.aspx or guidgen.exe


<Section>

<Key>9a2d3bce-87af-4a85-84b8-ae67f44ea611</Key>

<Name>Hot Issues:</Name>

<Description></Description>

</Section>

And thats all. Now go to to PWA and create a new status report , it will have this new section added by default. This will save allot of time.
